Welcome. I was age 2 when my Grandfather, "Lud" Givens, passed away. I have no memories and little information on his life. To compensate, I am collecting information on him and his family, using mostly documents from the past.

Sometimes, I think the best way to gather information is to take a big net and try to scoop up as many folks with the last name, Givens, as I can--then look through them to see if there is anything familiar. Generally, I believe that it is a good idea to join a messageboard for the surname and place that you are researching--leaving tracks so that others can find you.
The professional way to research, I've been told, is to start with what you know and go backwards. What do you think?
