Step 1
First of all, you need to put things in order in family documents. They contain a wealth of useful information for your future family tree. There is no need to paste documents into albums, they may need to be rearranged. Better copy the documents, or scan. On the back of the photos, write in pencil who is on it, when and where the photo was taken. Keep your valuable documents and rare photographs in separate envelopes. You can also use transparent files if you access documents frequently. Look at the places of issue of documents, at the dates, everything can be important and be significant in further searches.
Step 2
Then you need to prepare a questionnaire to get the maximum amount of information. For example, the items of the questionnaire can be: date, month, year and place of birth, surnames, names, patronymics of relatives, class of grandparents, place of residence, education, where they worked, etc.
Step 3
The next step is to question your close relatives. It is best to write down the information they tell right away, because there can be a lot of data, and later you can remember the details inaccurately. The best solution is a voice recorder. At the same time, you will have a record of the voice of a relative for a long memory.
