Genealogy - Good online sites for tracking Ancestry tree?

Question

I live in Canada and am interested in using one of those genealogy sites to track personal ancestry. Are there any good "free" online services available for use.

Thanks

Answer 1

A couple good ones to start with is, www.rootsweb.com and www.familysearch.org  both are free, the other one that is really great, but other than a free trial, they charge for membership.

Answer 2

Familysearch.com is the one i've had the most luck with, not to mention it is totally free. The only downside to it is if you have a common surname, such as Smith or Johnson. The less common, the better. If online sites arent working for you, living family members are a very good way to go. As a tip, be sure to write down any stories or events older family members recall, as grandparents. can be a wealth of information.

Answer 3

I would recommend that you look at ancestry.com.  While it is not totally free it does help.

Answer 4

If you want to get the most bang for your buck, try http://www.v1g.org its cheaper then the other sites and will give you 3x more data. Works real well.. hope this helps!
