Good morning: I am sure the community would be glad to assist you in getting started. As requested by Kathleen please add some additional information to assist in a starting point.

I am attaching some training aides to help you get started. Getting Started with FamilySearch.

How to add family members to FamilySearch Tree

England and Wales Civil registration Get a free 20 minute session with a genealogist via Zoom on FamilySearch if you are really stuck, maybe thus can benefit you research.

There are lots more training courses, help lines and hints by clicking your curser on the little question mark at the top right of FamilySearch.

Thank you

I tried the web address I gave you again on several different browsers and I was able to get in, so I am not sure what I may have done wrong when posting it. I will post it again.

If you are just starting FamilySearch and haven't as yet started putting in information into your tree, gather all your information together that you may have already, mother/father, uncles, etc and start placing them onto your tree, the more you start with the easier it is to start searching for those details on your Mother-in-law's maiden name. If you know what county or city she lived in that would also help. I would start searching on FamilySearch as described but you can also start looking for her obituary, there are numerous web sites, that for a fee, will search their notices.

Another important place to go is the below link, lots of starting places and questions answered.

Don't forget there is always the free consultation on Zoom if you really get stuck.

To respond to someone directly and to the community do the following @thepersonsname that way they will be notified of your response.

If your husband's maternal grandmothers is deceased as I suspect send out her name as best you know it, approximate birth year and birth location and I or other members of the community will see what can be found to get you started.

Thank you
