Using these names, you can start with the census records. Of course, your father is the most direct source, he would know about his parents and most likely his grandparents. Does he have any brothers and sisters? They could also be helpful, if your father is not available. Also, if you do a simple search in ancestry.com, you might come up with a cousin that has been researching your family through a grandparent and that can give you a good start.

If you know their names and the names of their parents, you can look on the census records starting with 1930 and going back. After 1840, the census records show all of the family members living in the household including grandparents, boarders, cousins, aunts, uncles. For most, you can also view the neighbors living around them which for many of them will turn out to be brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
