  Hello black pearl i,m new at this family tree game myself, but you need to start with your fathers birthcert which shoud have your grandfathers name you then follow the male side of your tree to get your grandfathers birth cert which in turn will have your great grandfather and so on, the best of luck, hope you have better luck than me.

  If any member of your family has and may know where information on your family and any family bible which may have dates of births, marriages and deaths, then that is a good place to start.
  
  Both the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ family history pages and Family Records Centre have information on their webpages which is useful. Most people start on the male side but sometimes the female side is easier depending on the surname.

  Hiya i only started last week but already i have traced my great great grandmother and father without paying any money. I got some details from my mother about her parents and a few details about her grandparents. Once you have the name of a person alive in 1901, you can start searching the censuses, which is very useful- try www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk. You may have to obtain birth certificates from the GRO before you can get to this stage- see www.familyrecords.gov.uk for details. I am lucky because the surname i am searching for is unusual so it is easier to trace but if yours is more common you can look at birthplaces and occupations to comfirm it is the person you are looking for. Once you have found someone on the 1901 census website- you cn just type in the surname and the place where your ancestor was living in 1901 to find people who were their possible parents (living in the same place with the same surname) To research these people further and see if they are indeed your ancestor's parents, you could try www.freebmd.org .uk, or if this doesnt give you any luck, try following the link at the top of the page and access the 1881 census, it will tell you who lived in the same household as those people. This way can save you lots of money on ordering lots of birth, marriage and death certificates. It has worked for me- i hope it works for you too. Good luck
