These may help get you started. The study of family history is called "Genealogy", and Yahoo! Has a category for it over in Arts & Humanities.\n\nhttp://www.cyndislist.com/\n(240,000+ links, all cross-indexed.)\n\nhttp://www.familysearch.com\n(Mormon's mega-site)\n\nhttp://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi\n(450,000,000+ entries, of varying quality)\n\nhttp://www.usgenweb.net/\n(Subdivided into state sites, which all have county sites.)\n\nhttp://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi\n(Social Security Death index - click on "Advanced".)\n\nhttp://find.person.superpages.com/\n(US Phone book, for looking up distant cousins)\n\nhttp://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=\nSurname meanings and origins\n\nThree warnings: \n\nThere isn't a magic site that will take your name in and give you a 12-generation pedigree. Genealogy takes time.\n\nYou won't find living people on any of the sites except the phone book one. You will have to find your grandparents' or great grandparents' birth dates and maiden names somewhere besides the Internet.\n\nThe free sites are supported by advertising, just like TV. You can't watch the Super Bowl without seeing a beer commercial, and you can't surf for dead relatives without seeing an Ancestry advertisement. Don't complain about advertisements. They bring you the "free" sites. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Genealogy.com would be a good place to start. If you have a local historical/genealogical society, check with them.

You might want to try Ancestry.com. If it's not there, the best way is to contact the public library in the town where they lived. Contact info at the second link below.

Your local genealogical society welcomes volunteers to transcibe records. They will upload them to a US Gen Web site. If you are not willing to do that for free, you can't complain that others were not willing to do it for free either. The people at Ancestry transcribe records because someone pays them. If everyone who complained about Ancestry transcribed two pages a day for a year or two, the Internet would be full of free data.\n\nWithout a genral idea - like birth year and which town, county, state and nation Artelia and Theodore lived in - people will have a hard time helping you.\n\nI found\nARTELIA ROBINSON  \nb. 30 Sep 1918 \nd. Sep 1984 \nLR (Brooklyn, Anne Arundel, MD)\n\non a hunch - most people who post without any clues are americans who know their grandparent's name and want to find a 12-generation tree instantly.\n\nIn the same town is\n\nTHEODORE ROBINSON  \nb. 23 Jan 1905 \nb. Sep 1971 \n\nThere is another Theodore, b. 1936, whose LR is Annapolis.\n\nAre those the two you mean?\n\nIf so, this might be Artelia in 1920:\n\nShocco, Warren, North Carolina \n\n(Name, approx. birth year, birth state, race)\n\nArtelia Christmas    abt 1918 North Carolina Black  \n\nWrite if it is and I will transcribe the family for you.
