Did you know that millions of genealogy records are NOT available on the Internet?

crucial to their family tree search cannot be found online. Many Sussex
County records, for example, are only available to researchers who physically visit repositories at the local level in New Jersey, at the federal level in Washington, D.C., or at the LDS Family History Library in

Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, and other online databases and web sites, you may have reached a brick wall because you're missing out on the literal gold mine of records available to our genealogists on microfilm, in books,
and in other published works at these important locations. Many genealogical records related to
your ancestry search, important records like family
wills, court records, obituaries, death certificates, military records and land deeds are not available online and can only be obtained by mailing research requests to places like local public libraries or cemeteries, or by visiting the LDS Family History Library in Utah. These records are critical to any comprehensive ancestry search and should not be overlooked if high quality and thorough research results are to be
achieved during your project. For these and other reasons, it's sometimes a great idea to hire a professional genealogist
to assist you with your genealogy search.
