The African Atlantic Genealogical Society Home Member Application Newletters AAGS Surnames Getting Started Census Data About AAGS AAGS Meetings AAGS Events ... 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.

Granduncle Mark's Genealogy Parlor Tips Getting Started in Genealogical Research Write down everything you know about your family right now. Include FULL names of relatives and ancestors, locations where they were born/lived/died, any dates that you know, jobs people held, who was married to whom, etc. Talk with relatives especially older relatives (while you still can they'll be gone someday!) and WRITE DOWN the information they give you about the family, including names, places, dates, relationships, stories, jobs, military, health information, etc. Be sure to write down who gave you the information and the date. Talk with older relatives now ... someday they'll be gone! Some relatives might be comfortable with having you audiotape your discussion with them. But, if not, don't push the issue. You'll get more information if you respect what is comfortable for the other person. Look at family photos . If there are some old photos that are not identified, talk to older relatives and find out the identity of the people in the photos. You can permanently identify those photos by putting the identifying information on acid-free labels (available in photography stores) on the back side of photos. Some worry that labels will eventually come off. You can also label photos by writing on the back with an acid-free-ink pen (also available in photography stores), trying to avoid writing on the reverse sides of faces and other critical details. Do not write directly on the photos or backs of photos with regular ink!

Getting Started Genealogy is the record or account derived from the search for your family. It is much more than a list of people, places, and dates. It is the total experience that one goes through learning about your family. It is the world's most popular hobby and you can start anytime, take a break, and pick it up again with ease. There are three areas to search: Yourself, parents, family, friends, and relatives; Public records, local, county, state, federal, and world; and Private materials such as books, agencies, and churches. The following steps will get you started: Start With Yourself and Work From Present to Past: Keep in mind for whom you are searching. Begin to record events (such as names, dates, places) Collect all records. Limit your research Be patient – research may take years. At Home: Locate Your Family Records. Prepare an area to keep your records reasonably safe and accessible including: personal papers, high school yearbooks, birth/marriage/death certificates, mortgages/deeds, snapshots/photos, letters/diaries/scrapbooks, Awards and recognitions/diplomas, funeral/mass cards/bibles, newspaper articles. Searching outside the home: Keep records - time plays tricks on us. Compile family information and identify photos. Write to relatives. Take oral interviews. Collect data and document. Note other cities and states; check maps for locations. Identify people and addresses.

Home People Genealogy Getting Started An essential starting point is obtaining a copy of Barney "Beag" Gallagher's book; Arranmore Links which was published in 1986. This outlines all of the islands families and, although it contains some errors (it was compiled without the aid of a computer - no mean feat), it remains the only published work on Arranmore Island genealogy. A computer program is essential for keeping track of the various lines of your family tree as the large number of aunts, uncles, cousins etc, many with the same name, quickly becomes very confusing. I have listed a number of shareware (try before you buy) or freeware (free) programs which are more than adequate for getting started. Other commercial programs are available for more advanced functions (Note: you will be able to import your database from the free/shareware programs to a commercial program if you decide to buy one at a future date. That way you won't have to retype all the information). The first person you should add to your database is yourself followed by your close relatives. Asking family members will lead to your tree growing relatively quickly at which time you can begin to look for people researching the same family name and exchanging information.

WHAT'S NEW PHONE, ADDRESS, HOURS Location: Ministry of Government Services Archives of Ontario Genealogical Research Genealogical Research: Getting started If you're just getting started researching your family history you should definitely begin by reading books. Genealogical "how to" books, local histories and other types of reference books are widely available, and should be held by most public libraries as well as available from any good bookstore. Begin with what you know . Work from the known to the unknown one small step at a time. Work backwards from the present gathering facts as you go. Remember that names, dates and places are the building blocks of compiling a family history. What do you know about your parents and grandparents? Interview your relatives. Write or talk to your family members. Ask them about family names, where they lived, when they immigrated, what town they came from. What were their dates and places of birth and marriage? Ask older family members specific questions about your ancestors. "What was your grandmother's maiden name?" "Where did she live as a child?" "What were her parents' names?" "When did they come to Ontario?" Any clue, no matter how small, may help your search. Learn the history and geography of the area where your ancestors lived. Remember that old County boundaries change so be sure to consult a good atlas and local histories.

A Family History contains not only a genealogical collection but a textual story and history of individuals and the events that shaped their lives. The profession of genealogy recognizes equally the different audiences these two directions reach. Probably, no other topic in genealogy is more important than knowing how to "trace your family tree" effectively. The quality and quantity of your performance here will determine your success or failure in your genealogical work! Your knowledge on the basics will be the podium upon which your project will succeed or fall into a maze of frustration and discouragement. Remember, it is a genealogical axiom that only organized genealogists succeed. Inexperience or a poor memory is not the main cause or failure; it is the lack of a good note-keeping system and organized research strategies.

How Do I Get Started ? by Alfred Sosa You're a beginner, you've been bitten by the genealogy bug. You've put messages all over the net and you sit back and wait for people to send you information about your ancestors. You wait,....and wait.... If only it was that easy. You need some know-how and a plan. The following article will help you get started in the right direction. Phase One : Take Stock of What You Have 1) The Pedigree Chart Start a pedigree chart. Start with yourself and list all of your relatives as far back as you can go. Do this for both your mother's and father's side of the family. Try to list as much information as you can, including birth and death dates, marriage dates, baptisms, etc. 2) The Interview Interview your relatives for any missing information. Don't be too formal. Make it a social event and don't go in there like a news paper reporter. Record everything they tell you, even if it sounds exagerated or hard to believe. Most family stories are based on an element of truth. Don't be afraid to record the family gossip as it can be useful to you later. Gossip can provide you with clues when you get stuck. 3) Obtain Documents Get copies of birth certificates, marriage licenses, confirmations, baptisms, military discharge papers, etc., from as many relatives as possible. These documents contain lots of valuable information. For instance, baptisms sometimes provide information on the grandparents as well as the parents of a child. They can provide the places of birth for other family members as well.

99. Get Started - Kansas State Historical Society getting started On Your Family History. If you are just beginning to trace Link to Genealogists getting started Vital Records Census Newspapers http://www.kshs.org/genealogists/get_started.htm

Getting Started On Your Family History If you are just beginning to trace your family tree, don't assume that you're only collecting a bunch of names and dates. Family research can be an opportunity to learn about the history, geography, law, medicine and customs of other times and places. It can also become a family project that pulls distant relatives and multiple generations together to reconstruct your common past. How to Begin It is best to begin the story of your family with the current generation and work backwards. Instead of immediately visiting a genealogy library, gather as much information as you can from talking to other family members. You might want to use a tape recorder or video camera to record their reminiscences. Try to obtain copies of any records that family members possess. Write to all the relatives that you know requesting copies of Bible records, photographs, birth, baptismal, marriage and death certificates, offering to trade copies of what you find. The Next Step When you have collected all the information you can from family members, it is time to begin searching the public records that are available. A good place to start is the federal census. This state-by-state list of residents has been taken by the government every ten years since 1790. The federal government sometimes also took special censuses of veterans, slaves, and Native Americans living on reservations. In addition, individual states have taken censuses that can contain information that is different from the federal census.
