How can I find my genealogy tree through internet?

Question

I hear that I can find my genealogy tree through internet but I don't know how,anyone suggest me a step by step answer and I will give the best answer to whoever helps...

Answer 1

It requires research and Ted has given you some good websites.  However, you probably won't be able to get it all on the web.

Now, there are websites with family trees. They are not prepared and put on those websites by expert people who run the websites.  They are subscriber submitted and mostly not documented or poorly documented.  There are errors.  You cannot take as absolute fact everything you see in them.  You might in some cases see the different info on the same people from different subscribers. Then you wil see repeatedly the same info from different subscribers on the same people, BUT that doesn't mean it is accurate. A lot of people copy without verifying.  Use the information as CLUES as to where to get the documentation.  This is true whether the website is a free website or if you have to pay a membership to be a part of it.

Answer 2

There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites. I have links to some huge ones, below, but you'll have to wade through some advice and warnings first.

If you didn't mention a country, we can't tell if you are in the USA, UK, Canada or Australia. I'm in the USA and my links are for it.

If you are in the USA,

AND most of your ancestors were in the USA,

AND you can get to a library or FHC with census access,

AND you are white

Then you can get most of your ancestors who were alive in 1850 with 100 - 300 hours of research. You can only get to 1870 if you are black, sadly. Many young people stop reading here and pick another hobby.

No web site is going to tell you how your great grandparents decorated the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the depression, how Great Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960's by smuggling herbs. Talk to your living relatives before it is too late.

You won't find living people on genealogy sites. You'll have to get back to people living in 1930 or so by talking to relatives, looking up obituaries and so forth.

Finally, not everything you read on the internet is true. You have to be cautious and look at people's sources. Cross-check and verify.

So much for the warnings. Here is the link.
