We’re excited to launch our new weekly genealogy series—bringing you expert tips to help uncover your family’s Revolutionary roots!

Today’s tip comes from SAR Staff Genealogist Vanessa See:

👉 “Pay attention to the FAN club of your ancestors—Friends, Associates, and Neighbors. You can use their information to discover more about your ancestors.”

Research doesn’t happen in isolation—your ancestor’s story is often hidden in the records of those around them. From neighbors listed in census records to witnesses on documents, these connections can unlock new clues and lead to exciting discoveries.

Stay tuned each Friday for more tips from our SAR genealogy experts!
