John, Start with your parents. Whatever information you have. Then your grandparents. Birth date can be estimated if you don't know. Date of death can be approximate. Do you know where they are buried? Maybe a trip to the cemetery or a call to the cemetery or church will get you birth and death dates.

Someone asked me if I still live in Northumberland the answer is no as my dad got me, my mam and my 3 brothers down to Essex next to London. Hi Lauren I've not been able to find out the dates of my uncles, aunts, grandparents and my nephews and niece's and my cousin's as well.
