Getting Started in Genealogy means you have to be organised. Firstly you need to set out what you aim to achieve. Do yoy just want to know if your relatives originate from Raasay or do you want to create an entire Family Tree from scratch?

Use or set up a forum on this site to see if others have already been researching your family line.

Ask some of the older surviving members of you family to see what information they can convey. Ask if you can use a tape recorder and draft out your questions.
