Growing up my grandpa always made sour dough pancakes and bread every Sunday. The starter I use now is the starter he uses so it has some good age behind it. There are a couple of ways to get a starter,
1. Inherit a starter
2. Ask a local bakery for some starter(i.e. Great Harvest)
3. Make one from scratch or from a mail order starter(i.e. Carl's Starter)
If you decide to make your own I would suggest going here and following the directions. There is tons of how to's out there and if you find one that works better for you than go with it. One suggestion I will give is if your sour dough starter needs more flavor try feeding it with some whole wheat flour to make it more sour and feed it white flour to keep it at the flavor you want. Good luck and Ill post my sour dough recipe here.
