Genealogy is more than just a hobby to Mr. Jim Adams, a Millville resident who has spent much of his life studying the lives of his ancestors. He's devoted a great deal of time to helping others trace their family roots as well, and he has some good advice for people who don't know where to begin. "The first and most important thing to do when you are trying to locate and identify your ancestors is to talk to the oldest person in your family," Adams said. He said that young people should talk to their parents and grandparents to find out what life was like when they were children, and where they went to school. The article above is most likely A.
