Do It Yourself Genealogy

The do it yourself genealogy resources have always been a popular part of the find or investigate people section. We have featured the industry's leading resources--including Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com, MyTrees, and OneGreatFamily. We knew our site visitors wanted more information and support with their genealogical research. Therefore, we recently added several special features resources to help you find or investigate relatives. We now have information about genealogy software and genealogy magazines. We also added information about an extensive selection of genealogy guide books, organized by topic--including online genealogy research, ancestry-specific genealogy, general genealogy topics, and DNA and genealogy.

New Ways to Find or Investigate People

You might have noticed that the find and investigate people section at Do The Research has been growing. It has approximately five times the resources it had a few weeks ago! We can tell by visitor statistics that many of the new additions already are popular. At first, we were hesitant to add some of the resources because they offer the same services; it seems our site visitors appreciate a variety of options and interfaces, so we now include many more such resources.

In order to keep the section an easy to use resource, it has been rearranged slightly. Now, we have resources in several categories--including services that find or investigate people, reunion specialists, white pages searches specialists, do it yourself people searches and investigations resources, do it yourself genealogy sites, and DNA testing services for parentage and genealogy. We've also added some new special features, such as guides for do it yourself genealogists. Many of the interesting and useful additions will be discussed in future posts. Until then, explore the find and investigate people section and see for yourself all of the helpful new resources we've included.

Legal How-To

We are very glad to have added a new company to our legal help resources section, NOLO. Their goal is to help people handle their own everyday legal matters--or learn enough to make working with a lawyer a better experience. Since 1971, they have offered affordable, clearly written books, forms, kits, and software on a wide range of legal issues. As a result, they are the leader in providing do-it-yourself legal solutions for consumers and small businesses. They also are the real people behind Quicken's very popular legal software programs, which can be purchased directly from them at their site. They also recently began offering downloadable eForms. Everything they publish is revised regularly based on law changes, customer feedback, and legal system feedback Due to the quality of their products, Do The Research selected them as the supplier for our new legal how-to section, where we feature many popular, informative, do-it-yourself legal items.

Importantly, the NOLO web site has much more than legal help items for sale; it has information to help people figure out what they need to do and how to do it correctly. Click here to visit NOLO now.

Education, Education, Education

Our new education opportunity search resources section has grown faster than we imagined it would. Clearly, education is becoming a higher priority for millions of people--whether it be for general interest and pleasure, improving salary, or starting a new career. In order to make it easier to find the information you need, we have divided the directory into resources that help you search for online educational opportunities, search for on-campus educational opportunities, or search for both online and on-campus educational opportunities. All of these resources provide free information about a wide range of programs at several campuses. We're very excited about the possibilities out their for our site visitors! Of course, even though the information is free, enrolling in the programs is not--so we've included resources to help you find money for education. To help you with your studies, we also now help you find tutoring. Click here to visit the education section today!

If you're not sure what you'd be interested in studying, we have included information about career assessments (which have been a valuable resource job search section for some time). These assessments take a variety of approaches to helping people discover and learn about career options that are matched to their individual skills, interests, motivations, and personality. Even if you're not sure you're looking for a new career, these assessments can help you clarify your career path (and they can be quite fun and interesting, too).
