Starting to research and record your genealogy isn't as hard as you think, the trick is to do it one step at a time.

Step 1 - Gather What You Know.

• Start by asking yourself a few questions. Using the 5 W's, (Who, What, Where, Why and How) is an excellent scheme to follow.
  
  
• What is/was my father's name? My mother's birth name?
  
  
• When were they born, married, died?
  
  
• Where were they born, married, died?
  
  
• Who are my brothers/sisters?
  
  
• Repeat this for both sets of grandparents and go back as far as you can remember. You'd be surprised how much information you can gather!
