The Secret to Beginning Genealogy

The secret to the beginning of your Family History search is starting with those family members that are still living. Talk to your Grandparents. Write down the answers to your questions. You can find examples of questions to ask at the following link. http://genealogy.about.com/cs/oralhistory/a/interview.htm. Take along a tape recorder and preserve your Grandparents voice and responses. I am fortunate to have a copy of such a recording done of my Grandfather 50 years ago. It has been copied on CD and now can be enjoyed by many more generations. What a priceless item to add to your family records.
