Family History: Looking for someone?

Family history researchers are often curious about someone in their ancestry for whom they can find no information.

The quest for information for that individual becomes the family mystery. As researchers, we feel that finding that elusive data will provide another piece of our family tree puzzle.

Even though we've accessed every available research tool (including searching for our uncommon names on Facebook and Twitter), we may still run into a brick wall. So what can we do to broaden our search?

Genealogy forums and special interest discussion groups are useful places to ask for help, while MyHeritage's own Smart Matches™ are a useful tool to uncover information and relatives.

For whom are you looking? Grandparents, great-grandparents or contemporary cousins? Have you discovered family through Smart Matches?
