The Genealogical Process
Identify known family information:
Certificates and Forms
Journals and Letters
Newspapers and Announcements
What do you want to know?
Ask a question
Looking at your family tree there should be several last names available to you to begin your research. Pick one. It doesn't matter which one, just pick. It may seem weird but I always feel a sort of tug at my heart from one of the families. So that is where I start.
Be sure to keep a log for each question you ask
