Why General Genealogy Searches Are NOT the Best Way to Find Your Ancestors | Family History Daily

Why General Genealogy Searches Are NOT the Best Way to Find Your Ancestors | Family History Daily:
The absolute best way to begin overcoming this limitation is to use the general search box sparingly (especially on large genealogy websites) and focus instead on searching individual record collections. Searching individual collections allows you to educate yourself about the records being searched, to use creative techniques more effectively, to more easily make use of limited browsing and to uncover records you may very well have never discovered otherwise. This is especially true when you are facing obstacles in your research.
