Be prepared to buy some certificates along the way, it is the only way to accurately trace back.

Start by putting the name date and place of a relative on the trying to find board and you will get help.

Dont buy credits on here.

When you decide which way your research is going then concider which paid site to go for that will best give you results.

Never give up !

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }
