Be specific.<\/strong><br data-start=\"3352\" data-end=\"3355\" \/>Start with a clear name, place, or institution.

Check the holding archive.<\/strong><br data-start=\"3575\" data-end=\"3578\" \/>Once you find a promising description, go directly to the archive\u2019s own website for fuller context.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3679\" data-end=\"3869\"><strong data-start=\"3679\" data-end=\"3722\">4. Use it for context, not only people.<\/strong><br data-start=\"3722\" data-end=\"3725\" \/>Even if you don\u2019t find your ancestor by name, you might find records from the court, parish, regiment, or administration that shaped their life.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3871\" data-end=\"3874\" \/>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"eb4e83\" data-start=\"3876\" data-end=\"3922\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_It_Fits_a_Traditional_Research_Approach\"><\/span>Why It Fits a Traditional Research Approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3924\" data-end=\"4036\">There\u2019s something reassuring about a project like this.
