I have been looking at my family history for just two weeks and I'm unsure how I should proceed.
My parents divorced in the late 40's and I met my natural father only once. I have obtained a copy of his Birth and Death certs'. From his birth cert, I can see the names of my paternal grandparents and I'm trying to get more info on them. My father was born in 1917 and I have guessed that his mother might have been aged between 17-23 when he was born (Just pure guess work). I then did a search for my grandmother in or around 1895 and lo and behold up she pops. But not knowing where she lived at that time, how do I know if I have found the correct person? There are many people of the same name as her listed, the dates are all different.
Is there any tips/advice that will help me, please.
