The following is a copy of information I received in an email from Family Tree. Last night I once again got lost at www.ancestry.com and found records of births of early ancestors. Now with this list I can continue my search. I hope that you get lost in some of these and find some useful information for your family tree.
I went to the Vital Records chart and printed it out this morning to put in my Pedigree note book so I have it at my finger tips. This chart tells me when each state started to record Birth, Marriage and Death information.
Here’s a list of the cheat sheets currently available in this category. Check back often at http://www.familytreemagazine.com/recordreferences as we’ll continue to add new ones.
