    " Researching in a Small Town vs Large City-What You Need to Know About
    Both"  
    by Sharon Hodges

    If you haven’t done research in a large city such as New York City or
    the District of Columbia, you may find it a little intimidating.
    Discover what you need to know about researching in both large and small
    locales, learn about guides for locating records in large cities, and
    see examples of types of records you may find.

    has been doing genealogical research for 20 years. Sharon is a grader
    for the NGS Home Study Course and specializes in research in Northern
    New Jersey, District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, the Northern Neck

    Genealogical Society and the Fairfax Genealogical Society, having served
    as an officer on both Boards. Sharon also holds membership in several
