The first step in researching your genealogy, it's best to begin by doing a preliminary search. This means looking for information that you already know, what might be family tradition, and even going through your personal belongings to find vital information. You will want to search for family Bibles, birth certificates, death certificates, obituaries, photographs, marriage and divorce records. Search for things that you may already have and begin from there.
In additoin to beginning preliminary searches, it's a great idea to contact your relatives and talk to them about what records they have available. Talk to your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.
