  1. I should save this to a file.. but for now..

    Please do not think of research/ genealogy in terms of a surname.  Persons with the last name of Garrett are not all going to be related, so there is no way there is a "Garrett family history".  If the name Garrett comes from <fill in the blank>, it does not make you (Irish, German, etc).  Your heritage is about your individual ancestors.

    Tracing your history starts with you, and works back.  You verify who you are; who your parents are, then grandparents, and so on.  Of your 4 grandparents.. only one is named Garrett (women use their maiden/ family name to find their parents).  All are part of your ancestry, no matter what they are named.

    Here is a collection of links for starting research, plus cyndi has thousands of others. Genealogy involves some costs, like any other hobby. There are many many places online that are free, and you can use.

    The best thing for helping you start is to explain some of the common misleading ideas about how to find your family. I warn you.. it is challenging and a major satisfaction.  You also have us here, to help you along the way.
