If you are new to family history research please take time to look at sites such as Getting started in genealogy and family history (GENUKI) or The National Archives  which give guidance on where and how to look for information. Alternatively why not try your local library. There are several publications which give a comprehensive guide to researching family history (and taking the time to read them at the beginning may well save you time!)

Please also remember that it is unlikely you will be able to find everything you need via the Internet /WWW and you will still need to refer to printed and manuscript sources.
