In your genealogical research, you will want to contact and/or visit any archival repositories in the area where your ancestor lived. You will be interested, primarily, in archives that collect historical information. And, of course, you will want to visit the state archives for the state in which they lived.
To locate such archives, visit a directory of over 5,000 archival repositories throughout the world, which was put up on the web by the University of Idaho. The web address is:
www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/special-collections/other.repositories.html
Once there, chose the area of the world you want, then country, then state.
When you finally get to the web page for the archives in question, be sure to explore it. See if they have mounted any online resources that you could search. Also see if they have an online catalog or a list of finding aids. You'll also want information on their hours, in case you can arrange a visit.
