If you are interested in discovering your past relatives, there are many ways to achieve this task.
If you are not sure if you want to devote the necessary time to such a task while asking yourself "How can I find my family tree?" The answer is simple; you will not discover facts about your ancestors unless you perform the research needed.
Even if you believe that merely asking relatives will lead you in the right direction, you are partially correct however, that avenue will only lead you so far in your search for your ancestors.
The following are tips that can help you in finding your family tree:

• Start with yourself.
  Contemplate the milestones of your life.
  Who was present to celebrate them? What relatives used to come over for dinner on Sunday? What relatives do you hear your parents speaking about in casual conversation? Annotate these facts and names and begin your search.
  
• Create a system that works for you.
  Create Family group sheets and pedigree charts.
  The FGS sheet allows you to detail couples and their children.
  A Pedigree chart will simulate a tree with graphs and lined branching.
  This chart allows information to be added to the branches.
  Do not be afraid to purchase software programs that can save tons of time in adding all the information you gather.
  These software programs are not only time-efficient but also cost-efficient.
  
• Remain logical.
  It is easy to become caught up in fantasizing about our past relatives.
  Focus on the facts that are backed up with documentation.
  Once you pinpoint particular relatives, you can begin performing your searches with Census records and public records online or at your local City Hall.
  Keep in mind that census records cannot be viewed for seventy-two years after they have been executed; some records are available for your viewing.
  Check vital records for death certificates, birth certificates and marriage certificates.
  
• Work backwards starting with yourself.
  Annotate your own personal information then begin annotating information about your direct family such as your mother, father, brothers, sisters, cousins etc.
  Review past photos of when you were a child and ask questions about who are in the photos.
  
• Allow other people to help you.
  There are generous people in abundance for help with genealogy research.
  Check with your local church, City Hall, library, genealogy societies and other organizations that store archived records.
  
• Keep a journal of your genealogy project.
  You want to annotate your task with names and sources of everything you find.
  This way the information is stored in different places in case one source is lost, stolen or destroyed.
  
• Do not give up.
  No matter how frustrating or tedious the task becomes, do not give up.
  Your family is worth searching for and the wonderful information waiting to be discovered is worth the sweat and toil utilized in finding them.
