Look for names, dates, and places on certificates ([[Denmark: Attester (Certificates)|attester in Danish]]), family Bibles, obituaries, diaries, and similar sources.

Organize the information you find, and record it on pedigree charts and family group records.<br> | Begin with family and home sources.

|'''''Know what you know''''' - You cannot simply say, "I'm going to find my great-great-great-grandfather," and expect to meet with any success. You have to have some clues to get you started. You may have many clues that you don't even recognize. Most of these clues will come from previous generations of ancestors.}} | |||
