Introduction
Starting out on the family history trail can be difficult enough without the added complication of the fact that you'll probably have to visit an archive, record office or similar institution. For many, this will be the first experience of such a place, so the following notes are intended to provide some guidance about where to go, what to do and how to work. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike - possibly a few wobbles at first, but once you get the hang of the research, it becomes second nature.
