Clay Family History - Clay Family Research

UK Family Search provides information to help you in your
Clay Family Research. The key to getting started in building your
Clay family history is to start with your relations. Make contact with as many relations as you can, tell them what you are trying to do and ask for their help. Build a questionnaire and when completing any interviews try and record the interview. Build a picture from the information you receive, but remember, you may get conflicting information from different people. Keep all the information with references of who/where/when you found this data.

Once you have started to build your family tree and have built a basic family tree then start searching the internet to find out if any one else has / is doing research that provides information on your ancestors. Always double check the information that you found against the references, keep a copy of the references.

Start a blog here on
Family Research Blog make a diary of your Clay family research. This will enable others to contact you.

There is a wealth of information out there. So use it, but always check the
sources and if possible keep a copy.
