Many libraries and counties have online indexes that can save a lot of time before you take a genealogy trip.
Check with your local library or library of interest to inquire if they have an online index.
However, online indexes can include:
- Obituaries
- Marriage licenses
- Other items of interest
Before making a trip, I search these indexes when working on a family. I make a list of all of the obituaries I need to research and where they can be found.
This way once I arrive at the library, I’m able to take my printed list and began pulling the necessary microfilm. Already having the lists saves me time once I arrive at the library. I already know what I need and I’m ready to go.
What online databases are your favorites?
