You have come to the right place. Start with your living relatives, stores, interviews, records, and every thing you can find from them. That is where you start. How will you record your tree? That is next and it is good to decide up front. Most of us use software. I put some sites, including some free software. Then, you follow the clues from all the records you gathered. Birth Certificates give names of parents, their birth locations and dates. Marriage Certificates give maiden names and parents names. Death Certificates, and Obituaries are also great. You can get these from Towns (first since cheapest), Cities, Counties and States.

Then, start getting more records for each new discovery. Here are some really great sites. As you have more questions, please come back and post them.
