First,
here's what not to take along on your family history vacation: your
original files, photos or documents. But do make room in your suitcase
for these family history "road warrior" essentials:
• Paper for note-taking (some archives don't allow spiral-bound notebooks)
•
Pens, pencils and pencil sharpener or mechanical pencil with plenty of
refills (pens are forbidden in many libraries, so always pack pencils,
too)
