Many of the loose or dead ends we encounter could be taken care of if we could just find the right people or places. This lecture reviews the best ways to find missing ancestors and relatives, and offers a basic guide to finding hard-to-find locations. It is filled with examples of problems Dave has been asked to solve over the years. The session refers to these links:
