Having these fundamental facts all found in one place is most helpful.<br /><br />-FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-61013282829748116222014-02-06T20:08:50.250-06:002014-02-06T20:08:50.250-06:00Start with your parents and work sequentially.

Then check your work, via census records in the US making certain little things like dates and race match. Birth/death dates 100 yrs ago were often abouts rather than certainties. <br /><br />If you are lucky and your family lived in one community for a while check on-line cemetery records. I found them a great source for locating missing relatives, esp in-laws and grand parents.<br /><br />Good luck I hope you find it a lot of fun, you'll be surprised every day.Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-24565337664937318522014-02-06T15:48:34.161-06:002014-02-06T15:48:34.161-06:00I am about to start the search of my Irish roots.....I am about to start the search of my Irish roots.....did the Cajun French, the Devon English and the Lowland Scot research fairly easily. <br />Before I start, are there any pitfalls I should avoid?

Spooky. <br /><br />My parents too were raised in Ireland yet met in London and married. My dad had plans to go to Australia but had to wait till he was 65+ to get there. <br /><br />Nice reading you. xxLou Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349559305444036113noreply@blogger.com
