You need to follow the paper trail that your ancestors have left behind. The papers you find will help you fill in the gaps of information that you are looking for and probably give you clues as to where to look for more information.

Cathy Cottone will show you the different papers you can look for and where to look for them.

Cathy Cottone has worked on her own family history since 1991 after she inherited her family bible. That took her to England where the family was from. Once she walked the streets of her ancestors she was hooked. She needed to find out more about them.

Cathy since has found a job that involves her hobby of searching for family history. Cathy has worked at the Lyon Township Public Library as their genealogist since 2001 helping others find their roots.
