-DNA of Today

What is genealogy? This word literally means study of the family (genea = Greek for family or race; and logia = from Greek for study or reason). Today, we understand genealogy to describe the study, recording and charting of ancestries, descendancies and other family relationships. Family history studies fill in social, environmental, and historical background material which often help to extend a genealogy when other written records are not available or need sociological interpretation.

Adoption questions involve family history topics and records beyond a typical genealogical search.

When undertaking a post-adoption search, it is important to understand the types of records created during the course of an adoption. It is imperative to be aware of state and federal laws in place at the time of the event, and also at the time of your search. Your knowledge of access laws, which do vary by state, arms you as a genealogist in case access is wrongfully denied.  

The Internet has made it easier to investigate a variety of military records, but you may not be able to find the specific information you need online. Obstacles to putting military records online include the sheer volume of documents and technological constraints. (Privacy laws further restrict access to modern military records.) Many government offices and organizations are trustees of Civil War records. To obtain copies of specific records, you will need to learn which agencies hold which records.
