Elkinton Family History - Elkinton Family Research

UK Family Search provides information to help you in your
Elkinton Family Research. The key to getting started in building your
Elkinton family history is to start with your extended family. Make contact with as many relatives 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 World wide web to find out if any one else has / is doing research that provides information on your ancestors. With the advent of the World wide web, the number of resources available to genealogists has vastly increased; however, some of these sources must be treated with caution due to issues of accuracy. Always double check the information that you found against the references, keep a copy of the references.
