On this episode of Genealogy Girl Talks we review the importance of Connecting With Family. This is a key element to genealogy and family history. I share tips, tricks, and advice on how to connect with family as well as personal stories from my own journey. Don't forget older family members and connect with them in ways they are familiar with (phone calls and hand written letters). You'll hear tips on "Going Sideways" and what it is. Remember to branch out, take a chance, and send that email or make that phone call - it could change your family tree research. You may even hear amazing stories regarding your family, too!

My parents and I work on our family genealogy and research. It is amazing to me how many twists and turns that we have encountered along the way. It seems as though each time we unravel one branch we encounter a new twists. This is the very thing that makes this journey so intriguing and FUN to me! Along the way I have learned a few things about researching genealogy: Don’t assume what you have heard or been told is the truth. Expect the unexpected. Only document what you can prove. Have a buddy who helps and is equally interested. Dig deeper - you will find more information. This episode of Genealogy Girl Talks is sponsored by The Chocolate Meter app located in the App Store.
