How can I retrace my ethnicity and ancestry?

Question:

How can I retrace my ethnicity and ancestry?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You start with yourself, then your parents, then their parents, then their parents.

Be sure to talk to every living relative older than you for history.

Get complete names, dates of birth, location of birth, date of death, location of burial. Date of marriage, spouse or spouses and all dates.

Get the FAMILY TREE MAKER COMPUTER PROGRAM.
It is easy to learn and will help you organize this big job.

I will say it is quite addictive. Check around in your families and see if anyone else has already done a lot of the work.
It will make it much easier. This is the way to track your ethnicity and ancestry.

Good Luck and enjoy. Once you get started on the living people you can move on to the dead and use many of the sites that have Historical records.
