Question:

Finding unknown relatives with the same last name?

For several years now, I have been trying to start a family tree and I haven't gotten very far with it (other than locating a second cousin or someone whom I'm not even sure how we are related).

What are some free and no-obligation to pay websites to find information on? What exactly do you say to someone you think might be related?

From what my father once told me (he's now deceased), we are of Hungarian/American descent and he was born and raised in Bronx, NY and from most of the people I have located through the internet, they are all from Serbia or somewhere and are otherwise, not related.

The last name I am searching for is: KATANIC and I know that I have an aunt named Angela, a now-deceased uncle named Kenneth and a cousin named Jason (I'm not sure of his current whereabouts) and they are suppose to live in Bronx, NY. Can anyone help put me in contact with my family or tell me where to start to look to find them? My email is StardustMemrees@aol.com.

Thanks.

  1. Before you start your family tree research, go to

    Zabasearch.com and look for the names of family and see if any are familiar to you.  They may be just a "click," away on Zabasearch and your computer.

  3. One trick is to simply use google.. but put the full name you want in quotation marks.   You will find some info (I just tried).
