A Beginner's Guide to Tracing Genealogy: First Steps and Tips for Interviewing Relatives about Genealogy

Okay, so one of the most difficult questions any new genealogist asks themselves is: how do I get started.

I wrote two articles at Quazen to address the matter.

The first is called A Beginner's Guide to Tracing Genealogy: First Steps. As the title suggests, I address the very first steps any new genealogist needs to take to discover their roots. Applying those steps is KEY to getting started.

The second is called Tips for Interviewing Relatives About Genealogy and is a little bit more advanced than the first. Again, the title is self-descriptive, but I wrote it with very simple tips in mind -- things that have helped me out in interviewing OTHER people's families in my genealogical quests.

So yeah, if you're confused, take a look: hopefully I was able to shed a light on some things. And, as always, if you have any questions, comments are more than welcome.
