Our resources, which currently contain hundreds of articles and links are continually growing, make this possible.” said Andy West, a spokesperson for RevieWizard. In the past, genealogical research has been a tedious undertaking, filled with much footwork and manual searching. The Genealogy Guide has changed all of that, with extensive databases that are searchable online, enabling users to perform genealogical research from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. The Genealogy Guide resources allow users to find U.S. Census records, as well as birth, marriage, and death records around the world. The site links to sources offering numerous scans of records and newspaper articles, compiled by historians and made available to members of sites like Ancestry.com or MyFamily.com. Additionally, these sites provides members with the tools necessary to quickly and easily build a family tree, as well as a reference database of family trees that have already been compiled, which could facilitate the research process. With the many resources it offers, The Genealogy Guide is the ultimate starting point for amateur genealogists. However, online genealogical "facts" can be unreliable. The top five categories of genealogical information — place names, occupations, family names, first names, and dates — differ in their degree of reliability. Source records are generally most accurate for the information they are intended to provide. To illustrate, death registrations or obituaries are more reliable for date and place of death, whereas the age or date of birth indicated can be inaccurate. Therefore, depending on the information extracted, the reliability of the same source reference can vary significantly. Many amateur genealogists do not check source information but rather copy data and treat it as accurate. For instance, a marriage that some online genealogies indicate took place in Cleveland, Ohio actually took place in Cleveland, Tennesee - no one checked the registration, or even verified the actual state. This is not to say that all such information is wrong, but rather that a researcher is best advised to use this type of source as a guide only, and verify all data with vital records where possible. One of the leading consumer-driven online communities, RevieWizard provides articles and links on thousands of products and services. From cheap vacations to home businesses to real estate investing, RevieWizard has the information you need! The goal is simple: to save you time and money by providing quality information on the issues that impact your life.
