Correct!

The best place to start is with your own family. Not just with Mom and Dad, but with everyone, especially the older relatives. The biggest regret of most family historians (myself included) is that they didn’t ask questions when they could. You will not be able to track down records of your ancestors at libraries, archives or on the Internet if you don’t know the names of those you are seeking, approximate dates of their life, and the locations in which they lived. Plus, the stories your relatives have to tell might really be fascinating!
