answers1: Start by getting information about your relatives who are
deceased or born at least 75 - 80 years ago. Most records available
on-line are prior to 1930, with the exception of some death records.
<br>
<br>
The details you need are Names(include middle names, maiden names),
Dates (or approx.year) of birth, death and marriage, and the Places
where these events took place. Military, immigration, and
church/religion infromation would also be helpful. <br>
