My search of family history dates back to when I once joined a church which was and still is hell bent to helping the world and its newcomers to find thier ancestors through the use of the religions library and cultural resources!
A close friend who I still talk to now and again, and who befriended me in College my first year, introduced me to a church wich tries desperatley to recruite people into thier religion. He told me about how they work on a family tree and how the church he is dedicated to has a world of resources at thier fingertips to help it members find thier ancestery, dating back to almost the 1500's if I am not mistaken!
Since that year I met my friend I have had a longing to work on a family tree, and since have told my parents and have gotten them and my mother's parents involved in the hunt for Family findings!
the internet has helped alot in finding past family members through all old Church listings and Baptisms throughout time!
If you cant find it in the Library then try the internet!
Most of all the churches now are on the internet and if not , then try your hand at investigating into your own history by phone or mail, it may very well lead you in the right direction and then into the information highway!
To start , ask your family members what they remember of relatives and birthdates and so on, then compile all the data to start your own tree then use a coputer to save the information and continue from thier.
That is what I have been doing, it may take some time but it will be a great asset to your entire family and may bring good news to your doorstep someday!
