Family History Research - HELP!

[Treasure Chest]

Some of us start to research our Family History and already have a
head start thanks to a family member who may have written a
comprehensive Personal History and has included lots of useful
information. However, its more likely that we don't have this type of
information at our disposal and we are, therefore, at a loss. Where do
we start? Which websites offer the best information? The Genealogy
side to Family History is as important as the stories of our
ancestors. It helps set the scene and provides a background to the
stories you may have heard. The BBC has a fantastic web site that will
help you get started exploring your Family History:

tracing your ancestry to hearing stories and sharing photos.
