How do i find out who my ansesters are?

IS there a website or something that i can find out who was in my family in like the roman times and stuff? and my last name isn't common

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "in Roman times"?????? Not too many genealogical records go back that far (assuming you are talking about the Roman Empire,which began nearly 3000 years ago.) You need to start with your parents, work backward through your grandparents, and then back another generation, and so on. At an average of 25 to 30 years per generation, you would need to go back 100 generations to find ancestors who were living during at that time. That's very unlikely. Take little steps: ask your parents what they know about your ancestors. Then use one of the good websites, like rootsweb.com, or familysearch.org to try to find out more.
