Hey Mrs. Juicy,
Start with yourself, and your birth certificate, this will be important to tie you to your parents. Then your parents, birth, marriage certificates (hope they are still living), if deceased get their death certificates and obits. You need documentation. Then, your Grand Parents, Birth, death, marriage, wills, pictures, probate, anything you can get, bibles, stories, etc., then the same for the Great Grandparents.
Now, you have your Tree to the point of your 2nd Great Grandparents, you can tie yourself to them with your Great grandparents records. If GGGparents were registered with Dawes roles, you will need to prove your ancestry (for recognition).
So, while you search the conventional web sites for birth, marriage, and deaths, use the following for Seminole. You will need to look around, and this could take years. Feel free to ask more questions.
