Jackson Brigade, Inc. 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).

Dear Myrtle's Beginning Genealogy First Step: Work backwards in researching your family. Start with yourself, your parents and your grandparents, as far back as you can go. Third Step: You must document your sources. This means that every little bit of information that you receive about your relatives and ancestors must be documented. Keep in the good habit of writing down exactly where and when you found the information, so that if you or even someone else can go look back and look up the record if need be. I even write down on each note, which repository it came from, as well as page numbers and the book or microfilm title. Every letter, pertinent email or article can also be used as a source, so be sure to reference them also. Fourth Step: Have a good filing system in place and make sure to cross-reference the different families the document pertains to. I usually keep the hundreds of photocopies I make in these files, split up into sections on each surname and then broken down into type of record (marriage, birth, census, etc)..This may seem like nitpicking, but it can be invaluable when you are searching for a particular document. All the irreplaceable and heirloom photos and documents are placed in a fireproof safe. If you want to display these, then make copies and use these for display purposes. Too much light will eventually destroy these photos. Ensure that the envelopes you store the originals in are acid free!

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.

Home Our Services Services Genealogy Research Getting Started in Genealogy Names, dates and places are the building blocks of compiling a family history. What do you know about your parents and grandparents? Talk to them. What were their dates and places of birth and marriage? Record the information on a pedigree chart. 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 Canada?" Any clue, no matter how small, may help your search. Visit your local library. There you will find genealogical "how to" books, local histories and other types of reference books. Learn the history and geography of the area where your ancestors lived. Now you're ready to start digging into old records by searching relevant genealogical sources While you work, remember the basic rules of genealogy: Start with yourself and work backwards through each previous generation. Work from the known to the unknown. Write down what you find and where you found it. What institution? Which collection of records? What volume and page number? Which microfilm reel?

Randol Schoenberg and Julius Mueller I. Introduction By finding this page, you have already made an important step toward learning how to research your Jewish ancestors in the lands of what is now the Czech Republic, but before 1918 were the Habsburg lands of Bohemia and Moravia in Austria-Hungary. Our sponsor, JewishGen's Bohemia-Moravia Special Interest Group, through its web site and mailing list with over 400 amateur and professional Jewish genealogist, is the best source outside the Czech republic for information on your ancestry. I strongly encourage you to subscribe (for free) to the mailing list and post your research queries to the group. Also take the time to explore the rest of the BohMor web site , and especially GemeindeView , The Web Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities In Bohemia and Moravia. II. A Very Brief History There are records of Jews living in Bohemia and Moravia for almost 1,000 years. As in most places in Europe, Jews were subject to various discriminatory decrees, pogroms and expulsions, but until World War II the Jewish presence was always substantial. At one time, Jews made up over 20% of the population of Prague, the largest city in the Czech Republic. In 1724, the first census of all Jews in the Czech lands was carried out. Approximately 30,000 Jews inhabited 168 towns and 672 villages in Bohemia and approximately 20,000 lived in Moravia, while 2,335 Jewish families (approximately 10,500 Jews) were registered in Prague.

Regional Research German Genealogy: Tips for Researchers Diese Seite ist auch auf Deutsch Getting Started in Internet Genealogy With this page we try to present general information and tips on how to go about finding out more about your German ancestors. The proliferation of the Internet in recent years including the participation of hundreds of researchers has made possible an entirely new technique, Internet genealogy , which is the emphasis of this particular web page. However, our German genealogy team doesn't believe that Internet genealogy is the means to answer all of your research questions. Some questions can be answered most easily by traditional research, while others can be answered faster by the Internet. We find that an integrated approach to your genealogy will be by far the most effective way to complete your researches quickly, accurately and comprehensively. The steps below reflect this philosophy. Step 1: Identify What Is Known about Your Family Record what information you know off the top of your head, especially full names, dates of births, marriages and deaths, and places. Then, interview elderly relatives to add the information which you do not know. Record this information as well. Look for any information which may be written down. Do you or your relatives know of the existence of any of the following, perhaps in an attic?

Beginning one's genealogical research is as simple as starting to gather and record all the information and family data you have available to you in your home and among your various relatives. This is the best way to begin. This data can be recorded on five-generation charts available in the Historical Genealogy Department, or simply written on notebook paper. Being as thorough and complete as possible at this initial data collection stage will posture you for success as you continue your endeavors. Once you have gathered your initial data, begin to organize it in a chronological fashion. (That's one reason why using five-generation charts is so helpful!) Now you're ready to explore the tomes of local and family history data you will find all over the world.

Home Sign Up Login Help ... Site Index Genealogy 101 - Courtesy Everton Publishing Write it Down! Getting Started How do you get started in genealogy? Ask around! Ask your family about your family. If they are still living, ask your father and mother to tell you about their parents and brothers and sisters. Ask them about their own lives: What was it like when they were young? When and where were they born? Where did they live? Where did they go to school? How did they meet each other? Ask them what they remember about their families: What were their parents' names? When and where were they born? What were they like? Who were their brothers and sisters? Did they get along? Are they still living? If you can't ask your father or mother, ask an aunt or uncle, or your grandparents, or one of your brothers or sisters. Demonstrating your interest will probably bring to life their interest in your family, too. Getting the names and dates is important, because they help you identify and sort out all of these people. But finding out about the personalities makes the names come alive. You will learn who each person actually was, what he or she had to overcome in his or her lifetime, and how their lives combined to make you what you are.

OBJECTIVES Students will: Discuss how family history can help produce feelings of self-worth. Use a vocabulary common to the study of family history. Begin to write known family information onto a pedigree chart. VOCABULARY Ancestor Genealogy : the science of studying about our ancestors (also called family history). Generation : the average span of time between the birth of parents and that of their children (approximately twenty to twenty-five years). Given Name : a person's first name(s). Maiden Name Maternal Line Nickname : an informal version of a given name (e.g., a person with the last name of McDowell could have been called "Mac" or "Mic" by his friends or a girl with the name Elizabeth may be known as "Liz" or "Beth"). Paternal Line Pedigree : an ancestral line or line of descent. Surname EPISODE ONE: GETTING STARTED Episode Overview This first episode presents helpful insights for starting your family history. Part one introduces Victor Villaseñor. He grew up in Southern California as a Mexican-American, feeling outcast and ashamed. When he began to look at his past, he found great value in learning about his ancestors. In part two, expert Desmond Allen introduces the pedigree chart, and explains how to use it as an important tool for recording information about your ancestors.

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.
