I can also accompany you to places such as County Record Offices to help you start your own research.
I can send you a form that you can fill in with details of your known ancestors.
The first thing you should do is to ask all your relatives, particularly older ones, about your family.
Youmay well be able to get some details of people going back to thebeginning of the 20th century.
