Frequently Asked Questions

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

This is a very common question.  The best way to start is with your immediate family.  Record all full names of your parents and siblings, date of births, places of birth, date and place of marriage. 


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.  


Now the search begins!  No doubt, you have missing names, dates and places.  Start searching records like census, vital records, newspapers, church records, etc. to find this information.
