Where do I start?

A lot of people ask the question - where do I start researching my family history?

As is commonly said - you start at the beginning - with yourself.


Write down as much about yourself as you can possibly remember.

Date of Birth, Place of birth, Parents names, Grandparents names etc and their Date of Birth, Place of birth.  

You don't need a fancy family history program - most people these days know how to use a spreadsheet - go with this - I have a template if you need to use one - just ask!

You also don't need the likes of Ancestry.com (and fork out money in subscriptions and not find anything) - Go for FREE sites.
