  1. If you want to find your family origin, I would suggest the website ancestry.com which for a fee gives out your family trees and the people you might be related to.

  4. If you want to discover your family's heritage, start with primary sources: birth certificates, marriage licenses, wills, deeds, and the family bible (if there is one).  Talk to your older relatives and ask them the names and birth, death, and marriage dates of their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters.  

    At this point, you can look at census records to double-check the data you already have as well as possibly add additional ancestors to your family tree.  Census records aren't always correct, but they are helpful tools particularly once you get past living memories. The last US Census available to the public is the 1930 census;  the last census from England and Wales available to the public is from 1891. American and British researchers can find their respective census records at their local public or university library.  

    Of course, this information is also available on line at Ancestry.com.  Most libraries have a subscription to Ancestry.com that they allow their patrons to use free-of-charge.

    Other genealogical search engines that are free to the public include, but are not limited to, the following:

    The Latter-Day-Saint web site--  http://www.familysearch.org

    http://www.worldgenweb.org/

    http://www.kindredconnections.com

    http://www.DeathRec.com/Genealogy.html

    United Kingdom genealogical material is also available free-of-charge on line:

    http://www.familyhistory.uk.com

    http://www.genesreunited.co.uk

    Americans who have died since 1936 should also have their birth and death dates available through the Social Security web site:

    Finding your family's roots is not an instantaneous process, nor is it an exact science, since you may have to make a lot of educated guesses along the way.  However, it's an excellent way to make history come alive.
