England Genealogy

Beginner's Corner
Have you ever wondered about one of your ancestors, perhaps your great grandpa? Do you know when or where he was living, or perhaps the place and date of his birth? Your curiosity about him motivates you to want to know more. Do you know where to start to find information? Start by asking your relatives what they remember about him. Write down what you learned. Some family tales are based in fact and should be considered. Perhaps you will only have an approximate time and place. The Beginner’s Corner links to information that will help you get started. Choose from one of the following.


 * I want to find a birth, christening or baptism.
 * I want to find a marriage.
 * I want to find a death or burial.
 * I want to know about how my family lived.
