sure thing..

first off, get some paper and draw yourself in a box (or your kids) and then branch off upwards from there... putting your mum and dad into boxes above you on a pedigree chart...

charts look like this http://www.misbach.org/pdfcharts/


once you have things like your mum and dad in... and grandparents... then you already have 8 names to work on!!! and guessing by averages then your grandparents were probably born in 1900-1920's... thats you got back 100 years already...

after this kind of thing (dates are vitally important... i.e. death, birth and marriage) use the dates you have to access:-

census records (some years are free others are payable)
church records of that parish they were in.

places like http://www.rootsweb.com and http://www.ancestry.co.uk are very handy with some payment required... one of the best ones (and free!!!) is http://www.familysearch.org/ which is run by Church of Latter Day Saints and has America in it and everything... and its free!!!

the census data is brilliant as it normally gives occupation, siblings, their ages, the street they lived in and the house number... :eek:

get as far back as you can using info from living relatives, colect photos, birth certificates, etc... it can get frustrating at times but then it can also be fantastically exciting... my wife did hers for years and discovered her ancestor was the royal physician to Tsar Nicholas I or somehting... pretty cool!!!

There's absolutely no predicting where a thread will go... who would know that this would turn into a geneology thread.....

The only ancestor I know that was born outside the Midlands is my great, great grandmother who was born in India and her sisters were born in Moscow and the Bahamas. Now that's a family that likes to travel! a bit like yours

You may need name archives based in the specific countries

VV this may help in researching the family tree http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/census/ you need to pay for the more detailed info but can get basic info free. Think the 1881 census lets you look at some of the detail free aswell

It is easier if you have a slightly unusual surname and know for example which county your ancestors are likely to have come from.

Scots also naturally have really high sperm counts due to the fact that the testicles are allowed to roam free and get plenty fresh air under the kilt....
