Walk your way backwards......
If you are a male, make sure to list you list if you are a Senior,
Junior, III, etc.
When I started doing research about my family, I ran into that problem. Suffixes are not always list as that, so you need to look closely at the birthday.
For females, we are a little harder to find. For us, we must list all of the last names that we have gone and are going by. For example, there could be a relative that is listed with her maiden name and her four married names. All of these names have information that you will need.
Nickname may have been used on a census. Bill is William, Aggie is Agnus and so on.
This same information applies for your parents. Now you have gone back two generations. Your next step is to add siblings and their spouses, and their children.
My Heritage, and Family Search are free. Ancestry has a free trail membership, and then 3 different membership plans to sign up for. My favorite site is Ancestry. Why you say. BECAUSE of the leaves, start here and see what I mean.
