Jelissa, I don't know any Castros - but the first thing you need to do to build a family tree is to ask your oldest living relatives to tell you all they can remember about the family: their names, and when and where they were born, and where they lived. Everything they can remember - the names of aunts and uncles, grandaunts and granduncles, who married who, and when and where, what they did for a living, and when and where they died. Write down everything they tell you! Then you can start to work back in time from them, in census records, in birth, marriage and death certificates, church records of these events, and in cemetery records with inscriptions on your people's gravestones, which may give you more information.

I was about your age when I got interested in my family history. Genealogy is fun!
Good luck,
Sonia
