Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at brcogenealogy@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How do I start my family history?

This is a very common question. The best way to start is with your immediate family. Record full names of your parents and siblings, date of births, places of birth, date and place of marriage. Then ask about your grandparents and so on. Gather as much information as possible from family members.

How do I keep track of the information I gather?

There are two basic ways to record all the information that you gather. You can use forms such as Family Group Sheet to record all of your information and keep them in a notebook to create a family record, or you can choose to enter the information in one of the many family history programs that can be purchased.

I now have my immediate family information, now what?

Now the search begins! No doubt, you have missing names, dates and places. Start searching records like census, vital records, such as birth certificates, death certificates and marriage licenses, newspapers, church records, etc. to find this information. If you have other questions, or need help, please reach out to us. We'll be glad to help!
