A good place to start is with your parents - ask them for information about their own births, places where they lived growing up, marriage information and see if they have easy access to their own birth and marriage certificates. Ask them about their parents and try to get as much information from them as possible. If possible, talk to your grandparents - they may have much more information to share and give you keys to searching further back in your family tree.
Write down all the information they give you - this is the key to good genealogy research. Check this against any official records they may have.
The key to building your family tree is having a good base - solid and reliable. From this base, it is much eaiser to continue to research and trace your family tree back through the generations.
