The Vickers Family Resource Page Getting Started The following tips are for our Vickers cousins who are just getting started in researching their family history and who may need assistance in knowing where to begin. Start with your family. Ask for stories they may remember about past family members.
Every detail can be important in piecing the puzzle together.
Ask about the family Bible. It may record many details to help get you started. First and second cousins may have old family pictures, documents, or information that were passed down their lines. Family information should at least get you back before the year 1900. At this point go to the genealogy department in your local library.
