1. It is the best of all to begin drawing up a family tree with careful poll of all the relatives. Ring round that live far from you, ask them to write in detail the letter or on the Internet all information which you do not own, having explained the interest reason. If you possess an unusual, original or double surname, try to find namesakes, they will be for certain your relatives.
2. Reconsider all available photo albums of your relatives. On turns of old photos there can be inscriptions with transfer of names and surnames of people which persons to you or are even unknown to the owner of an album, maybe, are simply forgotten. It is possible to get knowledge of history some kind of, having interviewed in the village of the former neighbors, for example, your dead cousin grandmothers or grandfathers if more none of relatives a row remained.
3. You should not hope for the memory therefore in detail write down all names and surnames, dates, etc. Check information in archives, in metric and klirovy books. For descriptive reasons issue all information graphically.
4. To understand how to create a graphic tree of a sort, make sketches on paper, having arranged the most numerous of the living relatives in the widest part of a crown in the form of the signed leaves. Arrange under brothers and sisters of your blood relative - one of parents, having connected them branches, let us assume, it is the father (then sign a name of their mother in the same leaflet below, smaller handwriting). Connect his and his brothers sisters to one of his parents, also your blood relative. Up your patrimonial tree will grow by the same principle. From you branches will stretch with leaves up - your children, from them a branch with your grandsons. For descriptive reasons designate the blood relatives in one color, other relatives by another, it is possible to make the reduced copies of photos and to use them together with inscriptions of names and surnames on a patrimonial tree.
