If you are new to genealogy, or the study of family history and ancestry, it can seem overwhelming at first. However, with some basic steps, you can begin to piece together your family’s history and learn about your ancestors. In this blog post, we’ll cover the main things you need to do to get started with genealogy.
1. Start with what you know
The first step in genealogy is to start with what you know. Write down your own information, such as your full name, birth date and place, as well as your parents’ names, birth dates, and birthplaces. Then, move on to your grandparents, and so on. Try to gather as much information as possible, including full names, dates of birth and death, marriage dates, and places of residence.
