Begin
your search with relatives closest to you, and work
back from there.

Document every fact as you progress!
Record information on pedigree charts and
family group sheets.

If you have a computer, organizing your data in a
genealogical program is most helpful.

they have online, and to obtain the address of
archives etc. where you could write for more help.
