Here are some ideas to get your patron get started:

	"Start With Yourself" Instruct your patron that a good genealogist always starts with herself and works backwards. Encourage her to begin a genealogy research project by taking a good look at herself!
	Family Interviews Encourage patrons to interview family members to find out what the family remembers about it's history.
	Collecting Documents Important things to know when looking for Family Documents
	Visiting Localities Visiting the places her family has lived helps the patron relive the important events in her ancestors lives, and brings better of what life was like for her ancestors.
	Researching Localities Understanding the geography and history of the places his ancestors lived will help the patron find more records and learn why they were kept. .
