It's basically the same methods. I don't have much experience with international research, however the best source I know of is the Family History Library Microfilm
I suggest also trying the...

I'm no whiz on outside of the US research, but if it were me, my first two places to search for the info you need would be the microfilm records of the Mormons Family History Library and Cyndi's...

I'm plugged in to some genealogy databases and will give it a shot if you'll give the name.
... can't promise anything since adoptions throw some wrenches in the gears... but am happy to try.
-
If you are stuck, be sure to give us something to go on. Post what you know of the family, preferably the details of the oldest known person/couple you have: Date of birth, where born, where died,...
-
See here for some good resources, and in the meantime, give a little of what you've got and I'll do some searching too:
Going back, who is the furthest Bartges you have? And for him or her: date...

If you're new to researching family genealogy, be sure to check out our Genealogy board too ;)

Here are a couple things to try:
1. Run the name in Google and Yahoo: try first name first and first name last... and try with and without the middle initial).
2. Try the phone book sites

PS. Oh, forgot:
Caller ID only registers about half the time. Half the time it's just completely blank.

I just googled his name and find that some of the first few include Lexington. If he's active on the net, then some of them might be him:
"Charles Gunawan" - Google Search

I am a very patient person - especially with newer technologies, but with Vonage I am at wits end. I got vonage for our small business and in the 16 days since I've had it installed I've spent more...

Yes, but it will not be available until 2010. They become available to the public 70 years after they're taken.
-
I don't find any of the above in the 1930 in any state - and under a variety of spellings and soundex searches... so it seems they were either missed, or the enumerator really messed up the name.

Hi Carol.
See here for some getting started ideas.
Tell what you know (date and place) about her birth, marriage, places she lived and death and I'll point you in the right direction.
-
Where to go when you're at the "brick wall" depends on what you know about that person.
If you'll point me to him in your online tree, I'll offer some suggestions for where to look next.
Also,...

Are you doubting the obituary then?
It's a bummer that we cannot rely on the 1890 Census to verify the family members (the 1890 Census is lost), so that leaves us with only birth records to go...

I'm not experienced researching Ireland to Australia genealogy, but suggest items 2-5 here for a start.
And for leads on Australian research, see here: Cyndi's List - Australia.

Who's obituary is it you found? I don't understand what exactly you're looking for. It is basically just that you're looking for more info on John Bickers & Alice Sebree?
If so, have you found...

Let me offer a suggesion (expansion of this) - using that 1930 Census find as an example.
Remember that every bit of info you find or know is from a SOURCE.
1. Set up 1930 Census as a...

PS. There is no Naratzka message board at ancestry.com or genealogy.com, but there are boards for Prochnow. And in them I see people asking about the Prochnow's of Wisconsin... so you should check...

I see the one you're speaking of:
MacKford, Green Lake, WI
Charles Prochnow 56
Louise Prochnow 50
Irwin (or Irvin) Prochnow 29
Mildred Prochnow 18
William Naratzka 79

Is this the family that you found in the 1920 Census?:
Brooklyn:
John J Campagno 35 (b. Italy)
Elizabeth Campagno 30 (b. Ireland)
Marie Campagno 4
James Campagno 3
John Campagno 1 6/12...

Good. "Interviewing" living family members is the best place to start. First hand accounts are often more accurate than records like censuses and other records.
-
PS, about paying for stuff. In my experience, a huge portion of what's at Ancestry.com, for example, can be found for free if you dig deep enough. It's just nice to have it all in one place.
-
For the US, the Censuses are usually my first place to check. While you do have to pay to have access to them all, and nicely indexed online, you can often find them on locality websites.
All the...

Just to show you the steps:
The SSDI is public and free at Rootsweb.com
The 1930 Census is also public and free, but unless you subscribe to online service, you have to go to the library for...

Mildred died 1996 also in Lyndon Station. She was born in 1912 so not too surprising to not find her with Charles in 1930.
Both of their SSNs were issued prior to 1951 in Wisconsin, so we might...
-
We start with the SSDI (public info). There is just one Charles Day listed who died in '85 or '86 in WI.
Born 25 May 1904. He died April, 1986 in zip code 53944 (Lyndon Station is the city).

I'm searching now. In the meantime, what is your grandmother's name? And do you know her maiden name?
-
I think your best bet in this case is to search Burns' at www.smartpages.com in the cities you named. Don't be bashful, just give them a call and say who you're trying to reach.
I'd think,...
-
PS. If he is living, then yes, it will be a bit more difficult, but not impossible. If he is living, you should ask him what the names of his parents are (including mothers maiden name).
-
Yes, it can be done. You've come to the right place :)
Read through this.
To be blunt, finding info on deceased people is far easier than finding info on living people... and the longer...

The genealogist in me has read too deeply here.
Do I understand right that Christopher is the one you know... and that it's his brother and sister Kathy and Robert Jr. that you are looking for?

I find many Campagna families in Brooklyn, 1930, but no Teresa/Theresa/Tess born about 1928.
Step 2, a little more digging:
What is the head of household name from the 1920 census that you...

Corrie, I know it's late, but I just saw this. I'm not seeing your brother's father's name here.
Do you know his first name?
