Genealogy is one of the most popular hobbies in the United States, but saving money is even more popular. To combine genealogy with saving money, hire a coach who will help you get the most out of your resources.

A genealogy coach can help you work through the steps of the research process and answer the following questions:

What do you have? It’s amazing, but many people already have the answers to their questions. The genealogy coach helps them see the hidden clues.

What do you want to know? We often want to know everything about our ancestors, but there are not enough hours in the day or days in the year to do that. The genealogy coach helps focus the research on a manageable goal.

Where will you find it? In today’s world, we have hundreds of thousands of Internet websites and brick-and-mortar repositories. The genealogy coach knows resources and selects the ones that have the answers.

How will you know you have found it? This may be the most important part of the genealogy coach’s job. When we can’t find that one elusive piece of direct evidence that firmly connects our ancestor to his or her parents, we must assemble indirect evidence into a proof argument. A proof argument is a discussion of the problem and the evidence with the resulting conclusion.
