Gathering Information
When gathering information for your family tree, it is helpful to:
- Start by asking family for names, places of birth, and dates of birth.
- Keep track of all the information in a notebook or a file.
- Check census records, obituaries, wedding announcements, wills, birth documents, and history books for helpful information.
