Question:

How can you find out about your ancestors?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best place to start is with your parents, your grandparents, your aunts, uncles, and great grandparents. Write it all down, use programs like FamilyTreeMaker to record the information. Then, go on-line and use sites like Rootsweb.com, GenForum.com and Ancestry.com to post queries about your family. This opens the opportunity to learn more about your family from other, distant family members.
