Searcher versus Researcher:
A Searcher is generally limited to a specific place or by the kind of record available.
A Researcher discovers challenging family histories, removes erroneous ancestors and adds proven ones, proves who the parents were, and breaks through dead ends, often called "brick walls."
Types of records consulted by a professional researcher may include births, marriages, deaths, cemeteries, obituaries, federal and state census sheets, city directories, military records, naturalization records. Not all these will be found for each ancestor.
