The following guidelines are designed for individuals that are just beginning their family history research. If you have been collecting letters, newsclippings, and photographs for years and have always wanted to begin building a family tree, then you may find these notes helpful as well. Regardless of where you are in the process, keep in mind that your pursuit is a lifelong journey and not something you should reasonably expect to finish in a few weeks or months. Most of all, enjoy where the journey takes you!
What do you need to get started?
There are a few basic items you should have available as you begin your project. A few sheets of paper or a notebook, a few empty folders, and a pen or pencil. As your research continues, you may also find a tape recorder, camera, and computer to be useful tools, but they certainly are not requirements to get started. Better to get started and add those tools later.
STEP 1 - Start with Yourself

If you haven't already done so, you should download the free Pedigree Chart to make your note taking more organized. Start with yourself by recording your full name (including maiden name if a married female), as well as your date and place of birth. If married, record your date and place of marriage and the name of your spouse. Continue by stepping back one generation and list the same information for your father (called your paternal line) and mother (maternal line). It's also helpful to make a note of your parents siblings (your aunts and uncles).

Getting Started in Genealogy
If you're just beginning to research your family tree, we hope you find this section of our site to be a useful guide for getting started. For many family history enthusiasts, an intriguing tale of an ancestor or a cherished family artifact are the spark for a lifetime of research. For others, obtaining a collection of old letters, newsclippings or photographs may raise questions about the who, when, and where that are prevalent throughout genealogy.

Better to get started and add those tools later. What is the best way to get started?
The best way to get started is to download our free genealogy charts and then review our brief step-by-step genealogy guide. As you collect facts about your family, don't forget to note where you obtained them so that you can refer back to them at a future date (seasoned genealogists call this 'citing your sources'). Additional details for advancing your research can be found using the links below:

Getting Started
Start at Home
The best place to "start" genealogy research is right at home with YOU! Each individual and family of individuals have a unique life history to tell. As a budding family historian, your first task is to gather as much information about your immediate family as possible.
  • Gather primary family documents such as birth, marriage or death certificates, baptismal or other religious rite records, cemetery deeds, property records, and immigration or naturalization documents.
    Gather ancillary family documents such as family bibles, personal journals, school records; membership affiliations with collegiate, community, club, ethnic, religious, and fraternal or maternal organizations and societies; membership affiliations with hobby or special interest groups.
    Try to determine if other members of your family are currently researching the family history, have done so in their past, or did so before their death. Oftentimes family research gets "orphaned" in its own family. Older family members are frequently happy to "pass down" their existing research documentation to another generation.
    Talk to your people! One of the greatest resources at your disposal is the "living memory" of your family's history. Conduct interviews either in person or over the phone with those members of your immediate and even far distant family that are willing to participate.
