If you are interested in learning more about your ancestors, why not read the old last wills and testaments? The region where your ancestors resided is the target (county, state). When I first began my personal research, I searched census records. Then I discovered county records were so much more informative! Still, I only read documents having the surnames in my family chart. What a mistake!
