Might be a good idea to post as much info (As you feel comfortable giving) that might help people help you. You know such as dates and such. Might help you in your quest. And not sure how new or old you are to genealogy so a tip  Talk to those that are still alive. Once their gone those sources are lost forever. Records on the other hand will be around allot longer (Providing for obvious problems like fire, flood, etc.) and with electronic type storage now on the net could be around forever. Ok my 2 cents tip for the day.  |

I keep having this reoccuring day dream that some long lost Uncle has willed to me his estate (complete with castle, mote and a few horses) and somehow they can not find me!  ok, I know what you are going to say...keep dreaming! lol I think the best place to start is your family, even distant Aunts and Uncles (that you have not contacted for years) could be holding on to information that is vital for your research. A good example is my wife. Her mother had died when she was very young, so she really did not know to much about her family background. When we started researching our families she contacted her Aunt and found out that her Grandfather was born and raised in Scotland! My first response was, "You never told me you had scotch in ya!" - Because of that phone call to her Aunt (who had become detached from the family after everyone died or moved) we have become very close to her and have her out to the house a number of times each year. We also gained a great deal of knowledge that we wouldn't normally obtain through written records. |
