I Want It

Product Description:

Struggling with getting your research organized and finding what resources even exist where your ancestors lived?

Are you ready to take your genealogy research to the next level, uncover the history of your ancestor's home, and make the most of your time?  

This 20-page Locality Research Navigator template has everything you need to become an expert in a locality in no time.

Have all the resources you need—from record collections, key facts, historical background, and more—right at your fingertips.

You could just type names into the search boxes on Ancestry or FamilySearch, but you might miss out on valuable resources if you don’t understand the history of the place and what’s available.

Locality guides are a great tool to become both more of an expert in the region you’re researching, but also help you:

  • Get to know what record collections are in the area. Don’t waste time hunting for something that doesn’t exist.

  • Speed up your research by having all the resources in one place.

  • Avoid accidentally creating a brick wall through a better understanding of the time and place your ancestor lived.

  • Keep track of tools like translation resources and maps.

  • Plan research trips.

  • Understand how to research in a specific time period.

This template includes everything to give you a comprehensive understanding of what resources are available where your ancestors lived and help you steer clear of any dead ends. 

Plus, it's easy to use—all you have to do is scroll through and add resources for each section. I’ve even included ideas of what types of things you can add to each category.
