Getting Started in Genealogy Names, dates and places are the building blocks of compiling a family history. What do you know about your parents and grandparents? Talk to them. What were their dates and places of birth and marriage? Record the information on a pedigree chart. Ask older family members specific questions about your ancestors. "What was your grandmother's maiden name?" "Where did she live as a child?" "What were her parents' names?" "When did they come to Canada?" Any clue, no matter how small, may help your search. Visit your local library. There you will find genealogical "how to" books, local histories and other types of reference books. Learn the history and geography of the area where your ancestors lived. |
