Start with yourself and work backwards! Talk to your parents and other family members. Write down all the details that you know about your immediate family such as:-
Collate all relevant documentation - birth, baptism, marriage, death certificates etc. If you are fortunate enough to have older relatives still living, ask them what they know about the family - any family stories and of course, if they know the birth, marriage and death dates of other family members. It is much easier when researching, if you have at least rough dates. Remember to ask whether anyone in your family has ever done any family research themselves and if so, see what they have! The internet is a very useful resource, particularly the Latter Day Saints family search site for those wishing to find family members overseas. For that and other useful sites, go to our Resources page. Data CDs of births, deaths and marriages are available for purchase for every Australian state. Although pricey, they ultimately are much cheaper then purchasing individual certificates. As your research takes you further into the past, you will find that censuses are very useful sources of information, as it is really only in relatively recent times that birth certificates were more readily available. If your family came from the UK, then do a search for the county from which they came. Most counties have family history groups which are very helpful and often have either databases that can be searched and/or publications for purchase. And remember, make sure you gather photos of family members - this makes your research more interesting, as future generations will be able to put a face to the name on the chart. |
