Researching your family history is a very rewarding hobby. By understanding the past and the lives that your ancestors led, you might be able to understand a little more about yourself. If you can get a real sense of your ancestors hopes and fears, aspirations, achievements and disappointments, you may just find clues as to who you are. Discovering the social history of the individuals that you are researching, where they lived, where they went to school, what occupation(s) they engaged in, their relationships, their children's lives, their parents lives and so on is a fascinating, exploratory process.

On traceyourancestors.info you will find hints and tips on beginning your Family History research. For example, on our Getting Started page you will be advised to start right at the beginning by interviewing older family members about their lives and experiences and finding out what they know about the family's history.

You will also find pages giving more detailed guidance on where to look for specific genealogical information eg Parish Records, Wills, Census Records etc. as well as suggestions as to why that information might be useful to you,

There is also a Resources page which we will be adding to in the future and which will include recommended books, DVD's, websites, software and useful links etc.
