Will, one more thought.... If you don't know what resources are available, or how to go about that first "conventional research", I'd suggest you locate a local library with a genealogy collection, pay a visitand ask questions.Most librarians are happy to guide a genealogy newcomer through the first part of the process, explain what records are out there and what you could expect to find.Death certificates would be a source for you, as they often list a birth place and parents names (including maiden name) for the deceased person.These certificates (those of relatively recent vintage) are filed with the state, not in a library - but a local librarian could point you in the right direction.Also you'll need to work with census records.Good luck!Helen
