How do I find my forebears?

 
     
 

Where do I begin?

Always start research into your family history with your own papers. Because records from the Civil Register are not opened to the public for between 50 and 100 years, you will need to use your own initiative to find one which has already been made public. Sometimes a marriage certificate or other family papers are enough. Older family members may know more than you think. Once you find evidence of a wedding before 1922, say, Genlias can help you further.
