[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 21317, member: 53"] The more information you know the easier it is to narrow down. Some states have marriage licenses online. What I would do is sit down and write out or better yet record your earliest memories about family stories. As I was working on my genealogy a couple of years ago I remembered that my dad talked about his great grandmother Jane and how she was six feet tall. So sit down with your dad and just talk about the family....don't make it an interview, but just Hey, dad do you remember how gramma Mae used to make those sugar cookies???? You don't?, Well what do you remember about her? Once you get him going I bet he would remember more than you think.... If you know when, where she died or was buried you can also find information. Ancestry.com is a place to start or rootsweb.com Google genealogy to find other resources. Also do a search in quotes on her married name, it might lead to other info. How long ago did she pass? Obits give alot of info, if you can check newspapers that might have carried her obituary.... Sorry if this is more than you wanted to know..... [/QUOTE]
