Question

anywebsites???

Answer 1

Oh, yes, and there are also libraries where you can go.  

See:

You should start by asking all your living relatives about family history.  Then, armed with that information, you can go to your public library and check to see if it has a genealogy department.  Most do nowadays; also, don't forget to check at community colleges, universities, etc.  Our public library has both www.ancestry.com and www.heritagequest.com free for anyone to use (no library card required).

Another place to check out is any of the Mormon's Family History Centers.  They allow people to search for their family history (and, NO, they don't try to convert you).

A third option is one of the following websites:

http://www.searchforancestors.com/...

http://www.censusrecords.net/?o_xid=2739...

http://www.usgenweb.com/

http://www.census.gov/

http://www.rootsweb.com/

http://www.ukgenweb.com/

http://www.archives.gov/

http://www.familysearch.org/

http://www.accessgenealogy.com/...

http://www.cyndislist.com/

http://www.geni.com/

Cyndi's has the most links to genealogy websites, whether ship's passenger lists, ancestors from Africa, ancestors from the Philippines, where ever and whatever.

Of course, you may be successful by googling: "john doe, born 1620, plimouth, massachusetts" as an example.

Good luck and have fun!

Check out this article on five great free genealogy websites:

Then there is the DNA test; if you decide you want to REALLY know where your ancestors came from opt for the DNA test. Besides all the mistakes that officials commonly make, from 10% to 20% of birth certificates list the father wrong; that is, mama was doing the hanky-panky and someone else was the REAL father. That won't show up on the internet or in books; it WILL show up in DNA.

I used www.familytreedna.com which works with the National Geographics Genotype Program.

Answer 2

You have a lot of good information from Nothingusefullearnedinschool.  

There are lots of websites. Some have family trees. Some have records and some have mailing list and message boards.

Ancestry.Com is not free but it has all four.

Your public library might have a subscription to it.  I believe they have the most records online.  They have all the U.S. censuses through 1930. The 1940 and later are not available to the public yet. They have U.K. censuses through 1901.  

They have transcribed the censuses but you can also view the original images. There are errors in their transcriptions but when you view the original you can have pity on the transcribers.

Warning: Don't take as absolute fact everything you see in family trees on their website or ANY website, free or not free.

The information is subscriber submitted(from folks like you and me). There are errors.  You might see different info on the same people from different subscribers. Then you will see repeatedly the same info on the same people from different subscribers but that is no guarantee at all it is correct. A lot of people copy without verifying. The information can be useful as CLUES as to where to get the documentation.
