You will avoid the common pitfalls many seasoned researchers have fallen into such as what to do when you find a photo that you would like to use or making sure you tell the most important family history --- your own!
Become proficient with where to look for resources that match where your ancestors lived and when they lived in a particular place.
I have answered thousands of questions from researchers around the globe. This series will enable you to help yourself.

My thoughts on My Best Genealogy Tips
The ultimate guide to researching your family tree.
If there is anything you need to know about genealogy, Robin Foster has it covered for you.
Her guide teaches you how to begin, tips for successful research, and the pitfalls to watch out for so you don’t become stalled in your search. Conducting oral history interviews is an integral part of your research. You will learn techniques to help you put together your interview questions to promote success. The author’s writing is easy to understand, and her thoughts are presented fluidly.
Photos are now a large part of genealogy. They no longer need to be random photos without names and dates. Today you can organize photos into files and share them with family members far and wide.
Learning the difference between family trees and historical records is just the starting point of this guide. Its 102 pages are full of more tips than you can comprehend in one reading.
If you are looking to increase your knowledge about genealogy, this is the book for you. It is the first in a planned series so that you can develop your skills along with the books.
I own a copy of the book. This is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Robin R. Foster
A few words from Robin R. Foster:
In 1985, I learned how to be successful at finding my own ancestors with the assistance of the spirit. Later, I combined that knowledge with the knowledge of how to successfully create social media groups for the purpose of answering genealogical questions. Today, we are the force for solving many tough challenges. My patrons have successfully gone on to tackle even harder questions.
I was a FamilySearch Missionary (2007-2014). Putting forth a great pioneering effort to share my knowledge on social platforms not originally used to disseminate genealogical information, I was among the first to use Pinterest for genealogy. I was selected as Family Tree Magazine's "Social Media Mavericks: 40 to Follow" in 2014.
I work to assist patrons of all colors with their ancestry. I am the co-founder and owner of Genealogy Just Ask.
I am a member of the South Carolina Genealogical Society - Columbia Chapter. On February 28, 2015, and 2018, and February 2021, I presented at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. I served as a volunteer at the Lawrence Local History and Genealogy Room of the Greenwood County Library, and the Greenwood, SC Family History Center director.
On February 1, 2020, I presented "Easily Finding My Union County, SC African American Ancestors" for Rose Hill Plantation, in Union, South Carolina, and "Easily Finding My African American Ancestor" a keynote address for the African American Family History Day at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Goldsboro, NC on February 22, 2020.
In October 2020, I taught "Researching through Time Periods to Find Your African American Ancestors" for the Charleston, South Carolina's Family History from a Distance Workshop, and I presented "Genealogy Tips from a Pinterest Social Media Maverick" to the Milwaukee County Genealogy Society.
As of December 2020, I am actively compiling the research and history of Ervin James at Jamestown in Florence County, South Carolina on behalf of the Jamestown Foundation. In March 2021, I presented "How I Found My 3rd Great Grandmother" to the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc. New Jersey Chapter.
I taught "Researching on FamilySearch.org" for the Grand Strand Genealogy Club of Myrtle Beach, SC on April 10, 2021. I have noticed giving presentations by Zoom has really increased the number of patrons who attend. As a member of the Anson County Historical Society, in Wadesboro, NC., I am uncovering the story of my enslaved ancestor who traveled to Mississippi.
In October 2021, I will present for the Charleston SC Family History Center who will be giving a workshop called "Genealogy Around the World," where I will give "Up Your Game: Intermediate course on researching and analyzing," and "Let the Research Wiki Be Your Guide."
