Genealogists often find that it is more difficult to locate information about their female ancestors than it is to learn about their male ancestors. Women who get married take on their husband’s surname, and lose their original one. Sometimes, their is a skeleton in the closet that is preventing you from connecting female relatives to your family tree. This FamilyTree.com Took Kit points out all our blogs that focus on female relatives.
