answers1: Start with yourself, then your parents, their parents so on
and so on go to the elders in your family and ask all kinds of
question get story places names dates. Write everything down.
Rootsweb.com is good place to start. <br>
<br>
Once you start you won't be able to stop :)

answers3: Before I past my stock answer, let me say - start with your
parents and grandparents if they are still living. The records will
always be there. Your grandparents won't. No web site is gong to tell
you how grandpa lied about his age to join the Marines in 1942, or how
grandma had to eat corn meal mush for dinner during with the
depression, or how your dad paid his way through college by gardening.
Here is the stock answer: <br>
<br>
I hope you'll accept a general answer. These questions come up every day: <br>
<br>
Where can I find my family tree for free? <br>
Does anyone know the {Surname} family? <br>
What are good sites for ancestors / genealogy? <br>
<br>
They are all about tracing your family tree on the Internet. The
fourth time I typed in my favorite beginner's links I realized I
should save them in a text file and paste them in. This is long and
general. Because it is general, not all the links will apply to every
question or questioner. <br>
<br>
These may help get you started. They are large and free. <br>

Dutch or Oregon or any other region, ethnic group or surname, chances
are she has links for it.) <br>

Tracing your family tree is called genealogy. YA has a category for
genealogy, <br>

There are hundreds of more links in the resolved answers there. <br>

Notes: <br>
<br>
You usually have to do some research. Sometimes you get lucky. Don't
give up if your Great grandfather with your surname isn't there. Try
all eight great-grandparents. <br>
<br>
You won't find living people on any of the sites except the phone book
one. You won't find many people born after 1920 on any of the sites
except the SSDI one. Genealogists hide the birth dates, birth places
and other facts of living people to protect their privacy. You will
have to find your grandparents' or great grandparents' birth dates and
maiden names somewhere besides the Internet. <br>
<br>
The free sites are supported by advertising, just like TV. You can't
watch the Super Bowl without seeing a beer commercial, and you can't
surf for dead relatives without seeing an Ancestry advertisement. Many
people complain about advertisements. Please don't. They bring you the
"free" sites. There's no such thing as a free lunch. <br>
<br>
If you get serious you'll need a genealogy program. They are to family
research what "Word" is to writing a novel. I like Roots Magic. Family
Tree Maker is the market leader. Both cost around $29. The Mormons
will let you download PAF for free. It is clunky, but it is free. You
can sometimes find old versions of FTM or Family Origins (FO is the
predecessor of RM) in bargin bins at CostCo.

answers6: I could propose a type of guerilla process - beginning
exclusive locations the equal time. Try to get way back to viable by
means of asking your spouse and children - might be any individual has
performed the paintings already. At least you must be ready pass the
all know-how 3 or 4 and even 5 generations again. Figure out, wherein
the asked Surname/s initially come/s from. Try to get to grasp others
with the equal starting place, a minimum of if it is a alternatively
infrequent surname. Combining all know-how amassed, you may also
uncover a few know-how to be had on the net, at no cost. Ask others
approximately their studies with provider businesses. And, final
however no longer least - why do not you submit a few know-how right
here - might be any individual is aware of anything by chance or
reveals your request by means of a Google seek...
