You must focus on gathering correct information and true facts. Senior citizens, such your grandparents, if still alive, can provide wonderful insights into their past lineage. Their verbal inputs are the most authentic and you can take them for granted. For this dialogue is necessary. While interviewing relatives, quiet diplomacy and tact should be observed.

Research and investigate into old documents, diaries, letters, manuscripts, photographs, and notings. Historic events, past newspaper editions, epitaphs, and perhaps court records and prison diaries are wonderful sources of information pertaining to your forefathers. First hand narrations are true. This is an ideal affirmative action. Your main objective is to gain access to ancient information.
