Good evening,
I have been searching my family tree and think I have hit a roadblock. My father’s It hard to trace and all I have of his grandmothers family is a first name, Georgia, and the year she was born (1863) I honestly have nothing else so I am not sure where to start looking.
How to find out? Do I use my grandfather’s information?
thanks,
Sarah

Welcome to the world of genealogy. Unfortunately roadblocks and brick walls are all part of the process. Starting with your grandfather's information is a great. Start with basic records search and go on from there. Looking at his documents should lead you to more information, names and places. Enjoy the treasure hunt. As hard as it may seem, this can be the most fun part of the process, it is wonderful when you start to find information (and you will).

@Sarah41147 I agree with @NALeyba , family history is a treasure hunt! You could also try reading some articles in the help center of FamilySearch. Just tap the question mark at the top of the page and you will find them there. ‘There is a lot of good information for people who are just getting started. Here is one possible link. https://www.familysearch.org/en/gettingstarted/. Good luck to you!!!

@Sarah41147 Where was Georgia born and/or where did your father's family live? With a place name we can help you understand what records might be available and how to search them.
