    3. Dear Jeremy, I cannot tell whether you are asking for a chart to be drawn up using data that you already have and will supply to the chartmaker (there are many publishing companies that specialize in that kind of service, if that's what you're asking), or whether you are asking for the information itself. If the latter is the case, then probably there is no one anywhere who has exactly what you are asking for. Any data on your ancestors will have to be located by you, yourself, through the research techniques you'll see listed in many messages or in many genealogy magazines or taught in most genealogical societies. Either that or hire a professional genealogist to obtain the data for you. In beginning genealogy research, the absolute first thing to do is to start with what you already know: You, your parents, their names, birthdates and birth places, their marriage dates and places, and, if applicable, their death dates and places. Begin at the CURRENT TIME (or "the end", as it is often phrased). Obtain copies of the formal papers which verify the things you (think you) know. Those papers should contain information about the generation BEFORE your parents. Go through the same process, at which point you have the information for a 3-generation chart (yourself being the first). Do it again for a standard 4-generation chart, and then again for a 5-generation chart. The 4- and 5- generation charts are the ones that most computer genealogy software programs will print out for you. As you are gathering the above data, try to fill in with additional names, dates and places - spouses, siblings, families. When (not "if") you run into a brick wall, this extra information can help lead you to somewhere else the data could be found. You can keep up this search indefinitely - think about how many ancestors you'll have identified by the time you get back to the first immigrant to this country. You'll have to be the one to decide how far you want to go.
