    Let me offer my favorite collection of genealogy resources (be sure and go through her beginner section, as well as the one on hoaxes and myths).

    Finding a relative to share research with is fun... but it isn't the main way to find your ancestry. Solid research is based in documentation, and that is normally out there, relatives or not. Start by pulling out your birth certificate, which is the beginning..and work backwards. Even when you "know" the info.. start right by understanding that the records are critical. After all.. that is what you'll use, when you get further back than memories.

    www.rootsweb.com is another valuable site. Click on searches, then the social security death index. This gives you a clue as to where possible relatives will have died. It is not a guarantee that everyone with the same last name will be related.

    Also.. understand that you are searching for PERSONS, not a surname. Your mom has a different last name at birth; the same will be true for grandparents, gr grandparents, so forth. These are all equally part of your tree. The further you go, the more you'll understand why surnames are only a minor label to work with. IF your mom was a Jones by birth, you could go nuts, sifting through them all. You don't need them all.. you only need to define her parents, which will be clear from her place of birth, and records related to HER.

    And there is always 'here' to stop and get tips or leads.
