Collin, Hunt County libraries offer resources for ancestral research

Searching for family history and digging deep to find all the roots to the branches on your family tree can be a daunting task, but equally so it can be an exciting and rewarding endeavor.

Many people are lucky enough to have ancestors who have done their part to keep a fairly accurate record of family history. If not, and you feel compelled to trace your ancestry, start with some simple steps, but only after you’ve asked parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins to divulge any family tree information they have discovered. It will save you a lot of time and work.
