Using detective skills is an important part of learning more about one’s ancestors. Learn to spot clues in documents and then how to research them further using various internet searches. Using Google and other search engines to survey information provided by churches, genealogical societies, governmental agencies and other sources.

Curt Sylvester is a former president of ACGSI and is presently chair of programming. He has written eight genealogical books found in our Genealogy Center and presents lectures and workshops around the state. Curt holds a doctorate degree from Drew University in Madison, New Jersey.
