propogating lilacs

Lilacs are very popular in my neighborhood, and they
seem to do quite well.  Several properties have
common lilacs that are a story tall with masses of
blooms.  I want some in my yard, but I have questions.
First, how much sun do they need. Or, should I say, how
much shade can the tolerate?
Second, when is the best time to get starts?  Most of
my neighbors have suckers that they will share but I
am not sure when I should move them to my yard. Is
it best in early spring before blooming, right after blooming,
or in the fall?
Third, is there anything else I should know, do or avoid in
order be successful in bringing lilacs to my yard?
