Genealogy begins with identifying facts about your parents. From a few basic details, such as date of birth, city of birth, date of death or place of death, public records can yield much more information about where you came from and how your parents grew up. The search for one's heritage can seem the greatest mystery, yet finding your ancestors will be the greatest reward. Many of the documents paint a picture of the life you ancestors live, and you will become familiar with relatives you never knew.
