First things first, know the basic history ('''who, where, when, why''') of the relative who left England. The English immigrated everywhere in the world. Some destinations were popular at different time periods, so large groups would migrate to one area before moving on in the search for the suitable place to settle. Remember even if we are starting your search back to England from anyplace in the world. One thought to count on is "genealogy is genealogy" and the same basic search methods are true for any English ancester search if your are in New Zealand, Tonga, or the Unites | First things first, know the basic history ('''who, where, when, why''') of the relative who left England.
