| Abstract | The author shares thoughts and lessons learned from the almost forty-five years he has spent researching 847 families who left the Palatinate and arrived in colonial New York in 1710. Among the advice he provides: Study the neighbors, study the juxtaposition of names on unalphabetized lists, study the sponsors at baptisms as if they were your own ancestors, be a historian as well as a genealogist, use family traditions as guides not as gospel in your research, and follow your hunches! |
