I've used an independent arborist named Greg a few times, and he does good work. The last tree we had removed was ginormous and basically on top of our house, so it was not cheap. Hopefully, your tree removal is less complicated. His number is 801-521-7426.

Step 1 is family interviews, get paper and a pen and talk to your oldest living relatives, mom, dad, grandparents, aunts uncles and great aunts and uncles. You want a few things: 1) basics: their parents and grandparents names, with mothers maiden names. When those people died and were born (even estimates are great ex: my grandfather died when I was 10 years old) and where! What countries, cities, towns, farms etc. you also want the brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and then cousins. That will be the pool of people who will help you verify your research. Try and get s good tree for every branch of your family, back to your grandparents grandparents and then back down through their kids and grandkids. 2) extras: pictures of all these people, make high quality scans and write down everyone’s names, and then stories too. Stories about those people, and about their history. The rumors and things. Record as much as you can. After you do all of this you will have a really thorough base. Get started with the website FamilySearch. It’s free and has a ton of searchable collections. The data you look for will really depend on places and locations where your ancestors lived Good luck!

Once you've got a few names down try Googling some of your great and great great grandparents, etc., in case someone else has already started a tree.

Before you get too involved, familiarize yourself with the [Genealogical Proof Standard](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_Proof_Standard ). That’s the standard that lets you determine if your findings are valid. Always strive for as much confirmatory detail as possible but never get so focused that you are ignoring red flags. If something doesn’t seem to fit, look even closer and find out why.

Learn from my experience, you should focus on having a fully sourced and accurate tree. Never have the goal of simply going as far back as you can. I have two trees on Ancestry. My main tree consists only of my direct ancestors and only includes information that is verified. What does it mean to be verified? That definition is up to you. It is ideally backed up with sources and in some cases DNA. I only add ancestors that have enough proof/sources that I honestly feel are my ancestors. Some have a lot of solid proof and some are more circumstantial, but I would rather have a shorter branch than have that funny feeling that I’m not really a descendant. There have been several instances where I could have gone back several more generations, but the proof just wasn’t there and it didn’t feel right in my gut. So, I didn’t add the person to my main tree. I also have a second tree where I add siblings and extended family. This tree is also the tree where I experiment and work on finding/proving relationships. Always make this tree private. You don’t want unproven relationships making their way out to the public where other people will add misinformation to their trees. It’s always good to have DNA tested. Ancestry is great for discovering relatives. 23andme is great for ethnicity and health. Start small. Go talk to your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great-aunts and uncles. Write down everything. You won’t remember it all. I use a notebook to write things down when I interview a relative. But you can also record/transfer your notes online. I use Google Drive for everything: notes, photos, documents. Then start building your tree(s) slowly and carefully. Enjoy it. Try to make your ancestors people and not just names and dates. It’s fun finding the details in censuses, newspaper articles, pensions, and probate records to really find out who they are. Enjoy the early stages. It’s fun, exciting, and usually easier in the beginning. If you can provide more information about what you know about your family tree generally, we can provide better tips. Are you American? How long do you think your family has been here?

One of the major challenges you will face is organization of information. If you have a good system of keeping track of where your limits of knowledge are, you have a distinct advantage. You can decide where to focus and easily refer to what you already know to figure out the clues you need for investigating the next mystery. To do this for my research, I developed a system of directory organization to hold my digital copies of source documents and photos. The directory system is organized by family unit and is hierarchical in such a way that it matches my family tree. Then I wrote a computer program (VyTräd) to manage this directory tree and to allow the stored documents to be selected and viewed on-screen. The program is available on the website [www.vytrad.com](https://www.vytrad.com). It has a lot of features for helping you manage your digital documents and can import information from a tree you have already built elsewhere (through a gedcom file import). It presents a tree structure visualization of the directories (your actual family tree). If you are interested, please visit the website and give it a try (the program is free - with a donation requested if you like it!) ​ When you start digging into your Swedish family take a look at ArkivDigital for access to Swedish church records and a lot more too. Good luck!

Like others have said, ask family members. If they aren’t helpful, look at obituaries of your uncles, grandparents, great aunts, etc as well. I found the names of my great grandparents, and some other info through my great aunt’s obituary. I use FamilySearch.com as its free. You also save resources too. Also, your local library may be a help! You might need to go in person to use their databases, but they’re helpful! The librarians want to help you.
