YOUR SHOW: Genealogy research tips and insights from an expert

DENVER – We received an overwhelming number of questions about getting started with genealogy and overcoming roadblocks in family history research. YOUR SHOW took your questions to James Jeffrey, the genealogy collection specialist at the Denver Public Library.

The second largest genealogical collection west of the Mississippi lies on the fifth floor of the Central Library at Broadway and 13th Avenue in Denver. Jeffrey gave YOUR SHOW a brief tour (see video for more) of the resources awaiting researchers. Explore the collection yourself here.

Jeffrey answered questions from YOUR SHOW viewers including Joe Mierzwa, Diana Williams, Christine Clark Kingston, Linda Jean Shannon Hills, Crystal Cashion, Lyle Turner, Aline Kloppel, Kim Brooks Ballantyne, Elizabeth Rupp, Diana Gilman, Kim Kennedy, Sylvia Leybourne, Kathy Ardueser McLaughlin and others. Video of Jeffrey’s answers to each question will be posted on this page Monday, Aug. 1.

YOUR SHOW host Kyle Clark and Jeffrey discussed the purpose of genealogical research, excellent free websites for research, getting started with genealogy, mining federal archives, tracking Native American family lines, African American genealogy, researching family members who were adopted or placed in orphanages, exploring international records, the role of the LDS church in genealogy research, and how to share your research with others.

You can see YOUR SHOW every Sunday morning on 9NEWS at 8 a.m. and later on 9NEWS at 5 p.m.

After all, many of these newly minted tips will mean making more sales and profits, and who doesn’t want that?

Here are three simple but highly effective tips for your dropship or other ecommerce business:

I. Always make sure that your most important content stays above the fold on your product pages. You need to provide all of the info a potential customer will need in order to make the decision to buy right there on the top half of the page, or above the fold. For example, include the name of the product, the product description, color or size choices if any, the price including shipping and handling, the product image, a strong call to action and then a secondary call to action along the lines of “Subscribe for Updates” or “Add to Favorites.” Make it easy to share on Facebook or Twitter and to email the item to a friend. Sometimes people like grandparents that are shopping for grandchildren’s shoes or clothes, or even toys, want to check with the child’s parents first before buying.

II. Use your category pages wisely. Don’t just list the products in a category, but have some content about the products. The search engines will love this and customers will appreciate it, too. Plus, by highlighting clickable links to other products within the category or a sub-category, you are facilitating things for shoppers to view those items.

III. If you are selling one or more well known brands, have brand pages that offer some history and background on the brand/s. Also add a brand summary on the appropriate product pages. This allows you to work in more of your prime keywords, too, which is always a good thing.

Use these tips to help boost sales in your ecommerce dropship business!
