Well, it looks like you are on the "right foot", you start from your self, then your parents, then your grandparents, then your great-grandparents, etc. Along the way you ask as much information from your family, and relatives and look at home for any records that you may have, ie. birth certficates, marriage certicates, etc. Then you can look at census records, and other records that will give you clues.Then you can put families together. Also, once you gather your information then you can put a posting here with your information and ask for help this way too.
Best wishes in your research.

I'll give you a good start and you can do the rest. I think I know this family. I'll post a journal for you. I don't add living people though. If this isn't your family it'll be someone's so all won't be lost.
