Preview:I started looking at family history a long time ago and visiting libraries and archives around the country was interesting and just discovering a newspaper article covering a relevant incident was like finding gold. The key was to always ensure the facts were correct - often this left some details as "unverified" until a later date when they could be supported. However, time has moved on and I have appreciated the easier online facilities like those of Ancestry - especially the London parish records which are so informative.
