The best way to start a family history project is to fill out a family tree. You can do it yourself or recruit your parents, grandparents and other family members to help. It may be helpful to ask your relatives where they were born, where they were married and other life events. Remember to take legible notes and keep good records of all the information you collect. You may even want to record it.?It will be helpful later in your research.
