Welcome to the February 18, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Genealogy. The theme for this edition is "5 Best Tips for Specific Research Areas". Our contributors have some great tips and if you're researching in any of these areas you are so lucky! Sometimes a little known resource can prove to be invaluable, and it could provide you with that one clue that helps you scale the proverbial brick wall. Here's hoping that you find these tips helpful... they're tried and true by the best!
If your research takes you to Massachusetts, Steve Danko suggests Five Best Resources for Researching Family History in Massachusetts posted at Steve's Genealogy Blog. Those of you with Mass roots will appreciate these tips. Thank you Steve!
Also up New England way, Apple shares Top 5 Tips - Upstate New York posted at Apple's Tree. Some interesting and lesser known resources here... check them out! Thanks Apple!
Moving to the midwest now, we have a lot of tips for researching in Michigan! Starting us off, Miriam shares with us 5 Tips for Michigan Internet Research and she's followed that up with Recommended Reading for Michigan Research. Great suggestions here... and I can speak from experience. But I've learned of a couple resources I didn't know about before too. Thanks Miriam!

Did you research your grandparents' home and find that someone famous once lived there? Did your family share a hunting cabin or cottage at the lake? What have you learned about Aunt Millie's house from census records? Was a family member's home destroyed by fire, flood, tornado, or a hurricane? It's time to tell all about your family's abode!
