This document provides an introduction to genealogy research for teens. It outlines the basics of genealogy as tracing one's family lineage through records of ancestors, their births, marriages and deaths. It encourages starting with information known about immediate family and interviewing relatives, then verifying facts with primary sources like birth certificates, census records, and military records found at libraries and archives. Secondary sources like family histories and newspapers can also provide clues but require verification. The document stresses documenting sources, collecting photographs to tell stories, and sharing information with family, as the research is ongoing and never truly complete.
