How do I become a private investigator?

That s a complicated question with several parts that largely depend upon in which state you plan on working. You have two options; you either work for a licensed private investigations agency or you go to work for yourself and obtain your own PI company license. Either way, you there are two considerations you must address at some point:

The first consideration is licensing; all but only a handful of states require a state-issued license to be a private investigator. Each state has different background, education and experience requirements that may vary from simply attending a state-approved training course to pre-licensing education, exams, years of work experience and

obtaining a sizable professional liability insurance policy with errors and omissions coverage. To make matters just a little more confusing, there are some cities that require private investigators to either register or obtain a municipal license in states that do not otherwise require them.

If you ve been researching your family tree for any length of time, you ve no doubt come across (and perhaps even used) genealogy forums, discussion groups or mailing lists. While these can be a great resource for essentially putting other people to work on your research project, the results can sometimes be, shall we say, uneven. But the problem may not be the board, forum or list you re using. It might not even be that you re asking terribly difficult questions, or looking for incredibly obscure pieces of information. Instead, your lack of results could be a simple case of not understanding the proper way to use these incredibly powerful tools.

Beginning in 1790, the United States of America became the first country in the world to call for regularly held censuses. However, the Constitution didn’t treat everyone as equal. “Free persons” excluded American Indians living on treaty land and who were exempt from paying taxes (or voting). However, any male Indian who had joined the voting and taxpaying (read: white) population became considered a “free person” and had the right to vote. “All other persons” meant slaves, who were counted as 3/5 of a person for determining representation in Congress. The 3/5 rule was to compensate for the large slave populations of southern states such as Virginia and South Carolina, where slaves represented 39 and 43 percent of

the populations, respectively. For comparison, Connecticut and New Jersey had slave populations of 1.1 and 6.2 percent, respectively.
