44. Getting Started may find someone at CompuServe or AOL or one of the genealogy mail lists or I haveposted all the information I currently have on getting started with tracking http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/lwjones/start.htm

Getting Started Okay, so you think you may be French-Canadian or Acadian, and you want to know how to begin. The first thing you have to do is find the oldest member of your family and find out everything he or she knows. You MUST get back a few generations on your own before you will be able to find printed or online sources that will be able to help you. If nobody in your family can tell you where your grandparents came from, then you will need to try looking for marriage certificates, birth certificates, death certificates, etc., which may have additional information. This can be a tedious process, but there are really no shortcuts unless you are very lucky. The one source that may help you is the nearest Family History Center (FHC) of the Mormon Church (otherwise known as the Church of Jesus Christ - Latter Day Saints). They will know the best way to find information in your local area, and will have references that will give addresses for applying for birth and death certificates. Their IGI (International Genealogical Index) is a computerized list of genealogical items about people all over the world. Some of the information has been copied from the original church records and is pretty reliable. Some has been submitted by amateur genealogists. This information is very uneven, some is quite incorrect, and so it must be taken with a grain of salt.

Publications Family Genealogy Basic Genealogy - Getting Started I. Put it in Writing! Using a Family History Questionnaire , write down the facts you know about your family. The questionnaire is useful in assessing just how much you know already, and what information you need to literally "fill in the blanks". The questionnaire only deals with three generations. If you can name three generations of ancestors, that’s great. Your objective, however, is to factually document the three major life events (birth, marriage and death) for each of your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Hopefully your research will eventually lead you to identify all of their siblings. The tricky part, again, is to factually document the three major life events (birth, marriage and death) for the siblings of each of your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. But, before you get discouraged, complete the questionnaire. If you have resource people (family elders, friends, neighbors) who can help answer some questions, set up interviews and collect the oral history . Record your data on a Family Group Sheet II. Decide Upon the Goal of Your Research.

Help getting started with genealogy This page describes some of the tools I have used to trace my family tree, and some hints for getting started on your own. I am using Broaderbund Family Tree Maker Deluxe to record information in my family tree. This was recommended to me as the best software for the purpose, and I find it easy to use. I have not tried competing products. You can probably get by with the basic version, but the deluxe version includes additional records on CD and added online access to certain databases (which presumably could be added later with the basic edition, but probably at greater cost). I use to generate the web pages with my family tree. This is a shareware program free to use for the first 14 days. If you like it, you are expected to register your copy for $20 after that period. You would use GED2HTML to publish your tree on a web site. For information on creating your own website click here You can also subscribe to various genealogy services to help find information about your family, or to search the trees of others. One month access to Genealogy.com was included with Family Tree Maker deluxe, but I have not yet activated it - since I want to fill in as much information as possible before starting the trial subscription. The more you know to start with, the more relevant the results of your searches will be. I had some of my best luck finding information through a Google search on the names of some of my ancestors. I was able to find a tree online from someone else that included my ancestors. I was able to obtain the database from this person and merge it with my own, and that tree when back very far. Some might say that this defeats to fun of finding your own roots, but I think otherwise. There is no way that any single person could trace as much of the tree as I found. It is possible that there are errors in information that you find online, so you will want to verify as much of the information as you can. Family tree maker will track sources of information, making this task easier.

Forms Census Records Links to other "Getting Started" Sites Links to States ... Common Mistakes in Genealogy Research How To Get Started - The Basics Make sure you browse through the categories on the main Researcher's Page 1. Start with yourself! Write down your own name, birth date, place of birth, parents, husband or wife if married, date of marriage, place of marriage, children's complete names and their dates of birth. The easiest way to do this in a format that will be easily understood is to use a Family Group Sheet . This is merely a form with places for all of the important information. You can download a nice Family Group Sheet from Ancestry.com - http://www.ancestry.com/save/charts/familysheet.htm You will need an Adobe Acrobat reader to print out this form, but the page supplies a link to the download site for the reader if you don't already have it. The American Genealogy Mall also has a nice Family Group Sheet and you can print this one directly from their website - http://www.genealogy-mall.com/fgr.htm You will do a Family Group Sheet for each family in your line. After you do your own family, do your parents, grandparents and so on. (If you have been married more than once, you will do a sheet for each marriage. You will end up with quite a few sheets before you are done since EACH family group needs a sheet of its own. Your mother and father's family group will have a sheet, your father's family group (your paternal grandparents) will have a sheet, you mother's family group (maternal grandaparents) will have a sheet and on and on. It is probably a good idea to go ahead and fill in

Home Family Histories - Dad's Surnames Other Stuff ... E Mail How Do I Get Started with My Family's Genealogy? My Suggestions Links to Getting Started My Suggestions 1. Interview close living relatives 2. Track down not so close living relatives 3. Track down obituaries and other newspaper clippings on most recent relative's deaths. 4. Find your way into the first census available: 1920 census and go backwards from there. I cannot emphasize how important it is to start with living people. If you're grandparents have passed on, look for their brothers, or sisters, or their spouses, or their cousins, and so on. I have gotten valuable information from a 70 year old second cousin of my dad, an 80 year old surviving spouse of a second cousin of my grandfather, and so on. That is the easy part. Now, the hard part. Filling in the blanks and starting to get past the twentieth century into the nineteenth century and earlier will be harder. Note you are usually trying to get who, what, when, where on each piece of evidence i.e. who died when and where. Who married when and where. Who was born when and where. Then, to start putting those pieces together, like a zigzaw puzzle. 1. Sit down with all close living relatives with a pencil and paper (and consider a tape recorder) and start talking and writing. Maybe use a spiral notebook or a three ring, whatever, but not loose scraps of paper). Find out as much as you can about not so close relatives (your folks' cousins, great aunts and uncles, etc.)

A birth certificate Getting started Have you ever thought of tracing your family history, but were put off by words like PRO, Census, Tithes, Manorial records and IGI? Have you ever made a start and felt you were drowning in lists of useful addresses, or lost in a record office, or depressed by the world supply of microfilm? You're not alone! But fear not: this guide aims to briefly explain a logical way to research your family history. Once you get going, you'll be one of thousands of people in pursuit of their ancestors and you will probably find yourself contacting others, getting and giving help. It need not be a solitary occupation. Work backwards Remember the cardinal rule of genealogy: work backwards, beginning with what you know. Resist all temptations to go directly to that son of Charles I that your grandfather told you about there might be a grain of truth in the story, but you'll get nowhere for sure unless you move steadily back in time from one generation to the next. Never presume that you must be related to somebody just because you have the same surname, however unusual. Your initial approach should include immediate relatives who may have all sorts of useful information such as correspondence, photographs and addresses of others whom you may wish to contact.

Potter County, PA USGenWeb Project Getting Started in Genealogy Compiled by Dan Hyde I have found that the best way to start a family history is to ask ALL of your older relatives to relate anything they can remember about the family. You will find that some of the stories have been "colored in" over the years to make them more exciting, but most have a small kernel of truth in there somewhere. I have found that several visits may be required to draw out the information. Try to get a copy of your grandparents' birth certificates and marriage licenses. You need to work from "now" to "then," taking small steps. Perhaps your interviews with older relatives will give the death dates and places of your grandparents. Then you can write to (preferably visit) the county where they died and also where they were buried (if different) to find their obituaries. When researching obituaries, read each line separately and record any information you find. Many times, the brothers and sisters of the deceased person will be listed with their place of residence and you can trace them IF you are unable to trace your grandparents. You should be able to determine facts about your grandparents and possibly great-grand parents. I think you should record the full names, date of birth and place, marriages and place and deaths and place of all your DIRECT ancestors, for example, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents. Also, record brothers and sisters of all these people if you can find them. Record any second marriages and the children of direct ancestors. I use family group sheets to record this info. If you need a copy of the charts, you can print them off the web (see below).

How do you get started on your great-grandparents, when all you know is a name and a place? Don't assume you can just search the web. While thousands of genealogists do spend their time loading files up, they usually load up their own personal histories. Most of the time, unless you're lucky, you'll need to do some old fashioned research to dig up your own family! Find the Death Certificate! Most of the time you don't know exactly where someone came from. Or when they were born. But you can find out where they died! Write the town/city hall where they died and ask for a copy. Usually it's $5. It'll tell you their birthplace, age, maybe parents, maybe how they died or who survived them. Then find the marriage/birth certificates Those have tons of information. Get them from the same place - the town or city hall. In Ireland, churches keep that kind of information. Write the church in the area you're interested in!

Randol Schoenberg and Julius Mueller I. Introduction By finding this page, you have already made an important step toward learning how to research your Jewish ancestors in the lands of what is now the Czech Republic, but before 1918 were the Habsburg lands of Bohemia and Moravia in Austria-Hungary. Our sponsor, JewishGen's Bohemia-Moravia Special Interest Group, through its web site and mailing list with over 400 amateur and professional Jewish genealogist, is the best source outside the Czech republic for information on your ancestry. I strongly encourage you to subscribe (for free) to the mailing list and post your research queries to the group. Also take the time to explore the rest of the BohMor web site , and especially GemeindeView , The Web Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities In Bohemia and Moravia. II. A Very Brief History There are records of Jews living in Bohemia and Moravia for almost 1,000 years. As in most places in Europe, Jews were subject to various discriminatory decrees, pogroms and expulsions, but until World War II the Jewish presence was always substantial. At one time, Jews made up over 20% of the population of Prague, the largest city in the Czech Republic. In 1724, the first census of all Jews in the Czech lands was carried out. Approximately 30,000 Jews inhabited 168 towns and 672 villages in Bohemia and approximately 20,000 lived in Moravia, while 2,335 Jewish families (approximately 10,500 Jews) were registered in Prague.
