I've been trying to create a family tree thing, but I only have information from one side of the family. The other side are from Greece, and came to Australia (where I live) 30 odd years ago. I don't know where to go to look for information, because most of the stuff on the net is all for the US, and none (that I know of) of our family lives there.
So, if anyone can suggest how I should go about finding information, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

familysearch.org is a good idea.
The Latter-Day Saints (or Mormons) work with LOTS of geneaology and have centres all over the world to help people do family history work.
www.mormon.org and www.lds.org can help you get in touch with representatives who can help you get started.

A courtroom abode has criminal information.. the purpose isn't kinfolk tree, however the outcomes is what you want. A will or probate record has the purpose of figuring out heirs, and pushing aside belongings. Marriage information are on the courthouse. Land information are of use in kinfolk tree, because they teach a guy or woman owned a touch bit land (and you want to appreciate WHO LATER owned that land, regularly a new child). There additionally could properly be information which includes offender information. once you detect somebody in information (working example) in 1895, you already know that the kinfolk became there. With some exceptions, those all are public records and open to verify. The clerks there at the instant are not obtainable to do analyze for you..they are able to and could, teach you the place the previous will books, and so on. are. earlier going..you may paintings with different sources (county internet site?) because some courthouses could have had issues like fires. each county is distinctive on coverage. placed on previous clothing..you would be sitting on the floor, or mountain climbing on occasion. You regularly pay for copies. simply by fact those are criminal information, they are between the main suitable.

I started my genealogy seven years ago. I found a second cousin and a first cousin in different states that were doing the same thing.
Skip forward four years. We went on line to Genealogy.com and history.com and left messages, along with this, you can go to the countries and states where you live and got to Obituaries.com and leave messages there also.
Check with your immigration services and see how they go about letting people into your country, then go into these records. Everyone leaves footprints where ever they go, you have to find them.
You say you don't think these people have gone to the U.S. maybe not but, how about family members? maybe they came here, check with our immigration and the shipping lines.
I went back to the churches in Poland, the priests, bribed them with donations and ? they were happy to help.

You could always ask the Consulat for the country you believe that your family came from because they can normally get someone to translate documents for you and can put you in touch with people who do genealogy in their country. Like a historical society.
