I feel as though I have jumped into the deep end head first, with a suit of armor and I don't even know how to swim. Translation: I got so excited about tracking my family history that I don't know where to go to get what information.
I was wondering if there is a simple breakdown of the resources available? What I'm looking for is something like this:
• Census - home owner name, name of wife, name of children, occupation, etc...
• Covenant - name, address
• Birth Certificate - full name, name/surname/address of father, name/maiden name of mother, profession, witness, etc...
• Wedding Certificate - full name groom, name/maiden name bride, grooms father name, brides father name, church location, date, etc...
• Medal Card - name, rank, regiment, date entered theatre of war, medal entitlements, etc..
• CWGC - name, rank, date killed, location of memorial, etc...
... and so on and so on...
I have a mishmash of information on a number of relatives but am missing some vital bits (don't know my paternal grandfathers parents names). I think if I had a reference chart, much more extensive than the one I mocked up above, I would be better equipped to attack all this information. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
