The twelve steps outlined below contain the basics necessary to guide you step-by-step through the early stages of your research. Remember Those who do have the information about the family's origins are now “senior citizens”, and recording the information for future generations can thus be done now - or never. There are two important worksheets for documenting your family history: The Ancestor Chart links three or four generations in a family tree and acts as a road map of your genealogical journey. Start with yourself and work back one generation at a time. The Family Group Sheet charts members of individual families (father, mother and their children). Find blank charts here:

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).

Today is Thursday, 22 September, 2005. Genealogy Getting started 1881 Census Look-up Service 1901 Census ... 1851 Kelly's Directory Genealogy - Getting Started What is Genealogy? Genealogy is a written record of someone’s ancestor’s and living family. Simply, it shows event information such as births, marriages and deaths to establish kinship. However, it can also lead you into a historical investigation of your ancestor’s. How to begin? There is only one place to begin, with yourself! The obvious facts are your name, date of birth, your parents’ names, any brothers or sisters, places of residence and any other important events in your life. Make a note of all living relatives and draw a rough family tree with yourself at the bottom. Even if you can only go as far back as your grandparents it’s a good start, especially if you have their birth, marriage or death certificates. Don't lose sight of the fact that although there may be only ONE of you and you may have only had 2 parents and 4 grandparents, you had 8 great grandparents, 16 gg grandparents, 32 ggg grandparents, 64 gggg grandparents 128 ggggg grandparents etc. Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies (HALS) was set up several years ago by combining the Hertfordshire County Records Office and the County Local Studies Library. It is situated at County Hall, Hertford, and has an area with microfilm and microfiche readers set aside for family history research as well as Internet access.

Basic records - how to g et started It would be almost impossible to find a great-grandmother for instance, if all you knew was her name, and that she came from Denmark. Our records come from hundreds of local agencies, and there is no huge index or computer file that covers all of them. In order to find a person, you must have some basic information. Otherwise, you will not know in which records to look for him or her. Information to get you started could be: Full name plus either Date and place of birth, marriage or death or An exact address in a year with a census. Things that could give you a clue... If you only have scanty information about your ancestors, the first thing to do would naturally be to ask elderly relatives or friends what they remember. Make notes of names, places and dates, although they may not be totally accurate. If there are none left to ask, you may find valuable clues in for instance: Certifcates of birth, death, etc

Keep in mind that the databases are the same, but the sites are different, one based in England, the other in the U.S. Most of the following records just may be tucked away in a shoe box, chest, or filing cabinet in your mother's attic. They often provide enough information for a rough sketch of your ancestry two or three generations back. For instance, a Bible passed from one generation to the next will often provide birth and death dates, as well as marriages with the name of the new family member. A parent may have written their child who moved to another county congratulating them on their successful journey and updating them on how those they left behind are faring. Although these may not be primary documentation, they at least provide clues that can lead to the location of records proving your connection to an individual. Family Bibles;
