500 years ago would be 1506 AD\n\nconsider \n*who would be paying for the exploration, \n*how he would carry or get money\n*where he would be starting from\n*where he would be going\n*his mode of transport (on foot, by horse, sailing ship etc)\n*his instruments of exploration (compass, star charts etc)\n*food and drink \n*length of voyage (years?) \n*disease and hardships\n*what he would be interested in finding (gold, silver or valuable commodities for trade)\n*what sort of people he would meet\n\nuse your imagination and make it up. \n\nexample\ntuesday 1st may 1506 in the year of our lord\nThe ships are still becalmed off the coast of a wild godforsaken country, many of the crew are sick from a strange disease. I tried to buy fresh water but the natives laughed at my gold coins and we were forced to return to our boats at arrowpoint. I saw many natives wearing pearls as big as hens eggs, but we have nothing to give them in exchange. the king will be very cross if we return empty handed. fish and rum again for lunch, yuk.

Perhaps you could start with the book "Farewell to Manzanar" by Jeanne and James D. Houston. It may be difficult finding a survivor at this point, as it occurred over 60 years ago... Good luck.

Ask friends and relatives if any of them have an old set of encyclopedias. They are just like time capsules and will have all the information you need.\n\nGood start would be to ask your grandparents. Encyclopedias are expensive so its not something they would throw away.

Contact the local newspaper.  They'll get you a copy for a small fee.  Pretty easy to do.  You might be able to do it online.  I found my grandfathers that way.

Good person to write about!!  I agree with everyone else's answers; Mark Twain captured life in the 1800s, the human spirit, and he did it with a brilliant sense of humor.  He used a lot of sarcasm, which most people your age can relate to!  Although his books are fictional, they are a great resource for learning about American history- people's accents, slang, and what they did for fun.\n\nGood luck w/ your paper, I'm sure it'll be great!

Read some of Zecharia Sitchins books....taken from 7000 year old text. \n\nAlso, the Bible could be speaking of the populated world at the time. Or civilization as it was known then.

A good place to start would be to look through these paleogeographic maps of North America. This covers the last 550 million years in time slices about 10 million years apart. \n\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rcb7/nam.html\n\nThese never fail to fascinate me. There is another set that covers about 600 million years that shows the entire globe:\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rcb7/mollglobe.html\nLarger files are at (slow to load):\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rcb7/globehighres.html\n\nHere are links to a lot more:\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rcb7/RCB.html\n\nAnother good resource for historical geology is the Paleomap project:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/\nScotese even includes a future map of the globe, for 50 million and 250 million years into the future:\nhttp://www.scotese.com/future.htm\nhttp://www.scotese.com/future2.htm

Record as much information as possible from relatives and family records, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, old bibles, newspaper clipings, photographs, diaries and letters.\n\nconstruct an ancestor chart which includes all the relevant data collected so far. Include as much information as possible regarding individuals with full name, the place and date of birth, marriage or death, education, occupation, spouses and children. This will help you define the gaps in your information and determine what you will need to research about particular names, places, events and relevant dates.\n\nIn order to verify and expand your chart, consult original documents:\nbirth, marriage, death certificates\nchurch records\ncemetary records\nimmigration and citizen ship documents\nemigration and passenger lists\ncensus records\nland ownership and tax records\nschool and employment records\nmilitary service records\nwills\n\n* A library can give you information about certain localities, time periods, individuals and groups of people or where you can locate the documents available elsewhere.
