I want to start a family tree....?

I want to go back to about the 1600's..any suggestions??? I've never done one before...

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You will first need to get as much information about your parents, grandparents, etc. as you can from talking to them, because you can typically only search for dead people on the Internet. Once you have some information farther back in your family, here are a few resources for you to use:

http://www.familysearch.org

Probably the best free online resource.

http://www.ancestry.com is one of the best but has a hefty subscription fee.

Also, you can check the surname message boards for his surname at:

For links to helpful sites, you will want to take a look at:

And finally for a lot of different resources:
