uncle_chukk_88 on Family Tree Circles

My name is Charles Woods. My relation to this name is almost obselete. I grew up barley knowing my father(desceaced), and not knowing his father at all(also desceaced). They both originate from louisianna. My father's mom divorced when he was still a child and supported nine other children on her own until she was remarried, where we all reside today in california. I want to know how to find my roots. if any one could help, please help.
Thanks, C. Woods
