But you may already know much of the information about your close relatives. TO GET STARTED: 1. The best place to start collecting information is with the most recent generation. This may be you, your children, or perhaps your grandchildren. 2. Record the basic genealogical information that you know about your close relatives: *Full names *Birth dates and birthplaces *Marriage dates and marriage places *Death dates and death places, if applicable 3. Take these facts and enter them into your family tree software or other documentation source. 4. When you have collected information about yourself and any younger generations, then start working backwards with your parents, grandparents, and so on, as far back as you can remember. ================================================================= FIND OUT EVEN MORE ABOUT GETTING STARTED ================================================================= The "Getting Started" tip above was excerpted from the Genealogy.com "How-To" Guide.
