Question:

Where can I find out where my family is from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: first of all you need to collect as much information as you can about your family. Mother and fathers names , their parents and on up as high as they know and collect aproximate dates of marriages births and deaths as well as places family members have lived. allso you can try to find the meaning of a name as may have something to do with where they come from. then you type in differant last names on search web and when a list comes up check it againt info yu know when it is the rite stuff keep following the leads. The church of jesus christ of latter day saints has an extensive geniology library and their are various groups on the internet such as ansestry.com allso the paper archives and cemetary archives have lots of information as well as social security deceased records. good luck and hve fun i did this and found out a lot of inetersting stuff about my family.
