The first step in the process is to get all the records you can for you, your parents, their parents. Birth, Marriage, Death, Obituaries, Wills, Probate.

Then Interview all living relatives using an interview form designed to get names and dates - the best you can, for every one from everyone.

You can use a Genealogy Tree form for interviews. You should organize what you gather into a software package. There are several below. Some of these packages come with FREE access to PAY sites for a short period of time. Plan that access to optimize what you can get for free. Specifically, like FAMILY TREE MAKER software comes with some 30 days of Ancestry.com. There you can take your starting information, and do a search with the software via the internet, and it will give you Family Trees which can be downloaded as Branches into your Tree. These are only starting information, not to be trusted, but good information to start with. As you learn more about Vital Records, and research, you will fill in your tree. Here are some Software packages, Genealogy Sites and Vital Record sites. There are many more. Come back and ask questions once you start, if you get stuck. Happy to help.
