Question:

I am researching my family tree.........any suggestions on where to start?

I have never done this and I would love to know the best way to go about this,,,,,think it would be funny to learn about my ancestors.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best way to start is to take a genealogy class. There are several free classes online:

Brigham Young University has several free online courses on tracing your family history.

BYU Broadcasting has several free podcasts on the Questions and Ancestors site - you can listen online, download to an iPod or burn to a CD.

Roots Television is a website that provides many free audio-video resources for learning about genealogy.

Hewlett Packard has a free online genealogy class.

Any of these can help you get started.
