Everyone is really old or deceased, we don't have much information on relatives. I'm only going back to the civil war when Great Granddad met Great Grandmother. She supposedly came from an Indian reservation, Native American​.

Dennis J Yancey

but we need more details

complete names, dates that you do have, relationships

and points about what specific questions you want to have answered.

 

break it down into smaller pieces of specific goals, with specific ancestors - and then we can help you with those questions.

Dennis J Yancey

tell us more about your parents. what were there names? where did they live? are they recorded in FamilySEarch? under what ID.

then from there we can work backwards in time.
