Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: get you mother /fathers death certificate , then theior parents and work backwards

you didnt say what period she lived in

try census records

try land ownership records

try chruch records

try voting rolls

the mormons have a huge data base but you will need more than name you will need at least death and birth dates

you will need to say what country she was in , where in the country and when she lived

the advice changes depending on your answers
