Genealogy #69: Database Researching
I conducted a search in Ancestry.com for historical records concerning my paternal grandmother. I was able to easily bring up her record on the SS death index. I also looked at Immigration Records. I found a record that matches all I know about her except the birthdate listed. If the immigration record had the age in years instead of months, it would be right on, including names of other family members. I'll have to confirm with some other family members.
It helps to know as much as you can beore starting. In my case, knowing the incoming immigration port made it easy.
