With summer here, it is easier to meet with relatives, visit cemeteries, etc. and do your family tree research. Most of us have a yearly family get together which makes it loads of fun to check with your relatives and urge them to give you some more family history. It is really important to get all the information you can from elderly family members, because once they are gone all the information they have will be lost, unless they have put it down on paper somewhere. Going to cemeteries and getting information from the headstones is more interesting if you don't have snow on the ground or rain pouring down on you, so the summer months is the best time to visit the cemeteries. Another source of important information is the Family Bible. Births, marriages, deaths, etc. are entered there and can help tremendously in the information you just may be looking for.
