Doreen B, Start with Bertha (1884-1968) and collect every piece of paper in America you can find on her. A guide with how to get started and where to begin can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/HowTo.html
You'll need death certificates, obituaries, marriages, census, Social Security applications, naturalizations or her alien registration, etc. Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
