Some tips about researching a family tree:
It is always easiest to begin with your immediate family and work from there. Make a list consisting
of you, your spouse, and your children. Add the names of your parents and grandparents.
Then, you may want to talk to other family members to acquire information from them.
Keep a folder with all written information. When you have everything organized, begin building
your family tree. Access all internet sites for geneaology, and look under surname searches.
Be sure to evaluate the source of your information. Remember, you can't believe everything
you read!
Remember, most everyone has two family names: your father's, but also your mother's. Don't feel you must
restrict your research to just your paternal family tree.
