Lesson 3 Part 1 Challenge

Sometimes we receive Reference questions from members of the Igo Genealogy Club, who are researching their family histories.  Ancestry is a great database to start with, since it is free for library users when used in the library, and contains a lot of different kinds of records.  If they are interested in DNA testing for genealogical purposes, Academic Search Complete, as well as the Science and Technology Collection databases, are helpful for finding relevant articles, especially if they need to know the difference between the different companies offering the DNA testing services.  Aside from the databases, the web-based Cyndislist is perhaps the best reference for genealogical topics, as it contains over 300,000 categorized & cross-referenced links of genealogical information.
