Here are two excellent free resources to start with:
www.rootsweb.com www.familysearch.org I'll gamble that if you plug in some of those names you'll find cousins you've never met who have info on them. ... and for much more, see Genealogy Research Tips, Help and Advice |

Start with charting from most current - going backward. You can find those kind of charts in a web search or make your own. If you get the names and some dates down you can also search the Social Security Death Index, the dept of Vital Statistics in your state for birth and death certificates, newspapers, etc. It is a daunting task and seemingly a compex one but once you get started and you have your method down pat, it becomes easier. Contacting the Church of Latter Day Saints genealogy department in Salt Lake City may help you a great deal. In some states there are heritage societies that carry genealogical information.
Just beware - you might run into many people with the same first name and wonder who is who. Just be patient and you will be blessed with a wealth of heritage! Good luck! |
