Question:

What is the best way to look up my family history?

Ancestors/relatives/family tree

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Gather your elders around the kitchen table then ask about their parents and grandparents as far back as anyone recalls. You'll want full names, dates and places of births, marriages and deaths, and documentation. When you get them the certificates will give parents names so that's one more generation further back, each.

Now you're ready to look into other resources at the library, and on censuses.
