answers1: I can help with an explanation on genealogy, and how it works. <br>
YOUR genealogy starts with you, today, and using documents.. work back
from you to the past. 25 words or less. This is the opposite of what
most persons start thinking. Like most.. you expect to find the oldest
Fuh out there, assuming all Fuhs in the world are "his" descendents,
then find how you relate. <br>
Sorry. That is myth number 2. There might have been 10 guys named Fuh,
all unrelated. (no..everyone with the same last name(s) are NOT
related). <br>
Save yourself some running in circles. Pull out your birth cert, and
identify your parents by name. Mom has a different birth name. And
yes, even if you "know" the info, start right by knowing that you
always always use records. Memory is flimsy, at best. Take my word on
this one. Next, find records to confirm your 4 grandparents, with the
specific details on them. Example.. once you get the DOCUMENTS (maybe
census), you will be surprised that it might include the year of
immigration, and a birth town. Just illustrating the idea.. it might
not be the grandparents who immigrated. <br>
The records you need to start are not always online.. if persons are
living, they should not be. The records will not always be free. Look
for records.. not websites. When you identify WHAT record you need/
want, THEN you can tell google what you need more explicitly. <br>
Don't try to research a surname. Research your father, John Fuh and
mother, Jane Lee. Being exact is what tells you what record you need,
AND where it might be. It gives focus. <br>
The details start flowing when you understand the direction, and what is used.
