"It Is A Puzzlement"
Suggestions for Amateur Genealogists:
Genealogical Conundrums, Evading Pitfalls, and Seldom-Used Sources

By Dale H. Cook

 

     In "The King and I" the King of Siam was fond of saying "It is a puzzlement" when faced with something he did not understand. I have adopted that as my catch-all title for this series of articles aimed at those new to genealogy, explaining matters that the newcomer may not at first understand. Check back here periodically - I will occasionally add new articles.
