Can anyone help me?

Question:

Can anyone help me?

Trying to research my family history and started with me but I can't bring anything up at all on my history, birth, marriage, nothing about my mother and only my dads birth record. What do I do to find the living. Very confused and aggrevated.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Aren't you relieved that your data isn't out there for all to find, and that ethical genealogical research is mostly about dead ancestors.

Once you've organized all you can learn from your living ancestors onto genealogy software so you can see what you know and don't, having ordered birth, marriage and death records they'd told you about, then you're ready to tackle online and other research. You will need to have covered most of the 20th century "at home". Don't overlook local resources like your library and family cemetery for names, dates and places.

You will need at least access to census images. In the US the best is at ancestry.com which is among the subscription (pay) resources not their free resources (read carefully and you'll see that all you do is sign up with a username and password for the free stuff).
