How do you start a yeast culture?

I am really into making bread and my mother-in-law just told me about this yeast culture thing. She said that in Germany some people have had a culture for like 100 years. I would like to start one of these but I don’t know how. Can anyone who’s made one successfully give me any tips or maybe even tell me exactly how to do it?
Does it have to be sourdough?

Google Sour Dough Starter.
There are many many recipes for sour dough starter. I can only recommend NOT to follow a recipe for sour dough starter that uses commercial yeast. It kind of defeats the point of growing wild yeast when you are using commercial yeast to start the process. Grape skins are one of the better sources for culturing wild yeast.
Keep in mind that keeping a sour dough starter alive is a long term committment. It needs to be fed on a daily or every other day basis
