How to Start My Family History Research:
Find Out What Information Already Exists!
Depending on your circumstances, this first search can turn out to be a very rewarding one for you.
The kind of documents you should look for are those that can give you a persons vital information.
This can include, but not be restricted to:
- Birth Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Death Certificates
- Baptism Certificates
- Family Bibles
- School records
- Military Records
- Previous Research
These of course, may not be the only verifiable information you may obtain, with the more you can lay your hands on the better.
