Getting started with England research[edit | edit source]
Have you ever wondered about one of your ancestors, perhaps you great grandpa? Do you know when or where he was living, or perhaps his christening or birth date, and the place? What if you don’t have this information? Your curiosity about Johnny is important and you want to know more about him. Being new to genealogy, you probably don’t know what to do to find more information. Do you know about him or her? Do you know when and where they lived? The Beginner’s Corner links to information that will help you get started. Choose from one of the following.
To search for the right area of England your ancestral heritage is from you should first check for all the clues in the area that your relatives lived in "after they left England".
Look for any location in England that is mentioned in connection to your family members.
Search first at your and your parents home. Ask family members, find their death notices, death certificates, marriage license and certificate information, social security applications, immigration and emigration records from England. Childrens' birth records, cemetery burial records, the old photographs and books they owned or were left in the family possession these can be clues.
Remember schools were not available to all 19th century English people and your surname might vary in spelling. Check all information about your direct relative and any lateral relatives you can find. Keep your eye out for old country friends of the family they may be connected to your ancestral home. Some family tales are based in fact and should be considered.
