I am looking for any ties or info on my dads family.  His name was Charles Crawford, his father was either Charles or Carlos.  Cant remember which.  Family that I know of were from Buffalo, NY and Angola areas.  1943 and earlier is what I am looking for.  My father has passed away and his mother (whom had long remarried) passed away in 1980's.  So family tree is next to impossible for me without help.

There is lots of ways to find info. As you go along and narrow your serach, leads will come to you. Death certs are good, but obits are even better. The obits of the 1880's and early 1900's are very informative. Good luck. My family came from NY to. Tioga, Broome Counties. Terry I Stiner Robert, Albert, Merton Crawford. ________________________________ From: Char <trooper753@yahoo.com> To: CRAWFORD@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 5:38 PM Subject: [CRAWFORD] Crawford -Buffalo,NY Angola, NY area I am looking for any ties or info on my dads family.  His name was Charles Crawford, his father was either Charles or Carlos.  Cant remember which.  Family that I know of were from Buffalo, NY and Angola areas.  1943 and earlier is what I am looking for.  My father has passed away and his mother (whom had long remarried) passed away in 1980's.  So family tree is next to impossible for me without help.

You need to get death ceritficates. They should tell you hte names of parents of both your dad and his mother. The info should give the names of her parents.

The 1940 census just came out. Once it's fully searchable, you can search for your grandmother and father in the Buffalo area and find the family, including his father. Death certs are great, as are obits, but not everyone had obits. And once you know when your father's parents were born (also on the death certs), you can search earlier censuses that will have them on it and find their families, too. I always start with census forms - it gives a nice base to build on. Good luck!
