Beginner's Corner

Have you ever wondered about one of your ancestors, perhaps your great grandpa? Do you know when or where he was living, or perhaps the place and date of his birth? What if you don’t have this information? Your curiosity about him is important and you want to know more about him. Do you know where to start to find information? You may not know. Start by writing down what you do know. Ask your relatives what they remember about him. Some family tales are based in fact and should be considered. Perhaps it will be only an approximate time and place. Write down the information you find out. The Beginner’s Corner links to information that will help you get started. Choose from one of the following.
