I started doing my own family research around 1974 when I was around 20. I first went to the libraries where I found the Nicholas Wenzell Family Bible. I was later able to link my family to these ancestors.
I started going to the graves of my ancestors and getting as much information. I also sent for birth, death, marriage records and last wills and testaments which gave me a store of information.
More important, I spoke to my elders(grandparents, cousins, etc.) who could furnish one with stories and photographs which turn out to be a genealogists dream come true!
