When Should You Order Genealogical Records?

Описание: When should you actually order genealogical records like birth, marriage, death, land, or military files? In this episode, professional genealogist Connie Knox explains when it’s worth paying for original records, when to look for free alternatives, and how to decide if a record will truly advance your research.
You’ll learn how to:
Evaluate whether a record answers your research question
Find free or low-cost records on FamilySearch, state archives, and county websites
Use the FamilySearch Research Wiki to locate record availability by state and county
Identify when ordering originals (like the Social Security SS-5 form) is worth the cost
Recognize clerk copies vs. true originals
Save money and research smarter

If you’ve ever wondered when it’s worth ordering the real record instead of relying on indexes, this episode will help you make confident, informed choices and keep your genealogy budget under control.
