Williams Avenue Telephone 281-2836 Tracing one s lineage is in vogue these days Nearly half the written requests for assistance received by America's libraries and historical so cieties seek information about someone’s ancestry. Before you go running off to search for your roots, be careful or you could find yourself barking up the wrong family tree Records, if you are lucky enough to locate them, often contain erroneous in formation, supplied by incompetent or indifferent clerks or informants who had decided to anglicize their names or fib about their ages and places of origin. To make the search a little easier, try following these tips: • Begin w ith yourself. Fill out a family chart to the best of your memory. Refer to letters, old photographs, B'bles ;r.,thing the’ might provide clues. • In te rv ie w relatives Much of the information you seek may be stored away in relatives' attics or basements. • C heck local records County repositories of vital statistics should have on file birth and marriage certificates, land and cemetery re cords Also, town libraries usually keep sections devoted to genealogy and local history • Tap distant resources Among the best genealogical sources are the New England Historic Genealogical Society (101 Newbury S t., Boston, Mass 02,161; the National Genealogical Society (4527 17th St., N., Arling ton, Va 222071; the National Ar chives and Records Administration (Washington.
