  1. ancestry.om

    I found out that I was related to both Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson Davis!!!!!


  2. try the UK website ancestry.co.uk

    and

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/familyhisto...

  3. UK answer.

    The best place to search if you are in the UK is almost certainly www.ancestry.co.uk  if you get the GRO number from the indice you can order on line from the GRO.

    http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

    The price for an on-line order is £7:00 and a phone order is £8:50. You can also order from the register office where the life event was registered for £7:00.

    If you need any help to find the index details,  and  as long as it isn't a recent death,  after 31st December 2005, then the details should be on the site I have mentioned already.

    Hope this helps.

  4. www.freebmd.org.uk will show you death records up until 1925 for England only. It's useful, but you need to back up your findings by either viewing the original record, or cross referencing them with other sites. This is the site I normally use to find out death dates, although it's still not complete, so bear in mind there are gaps in their results.

    With the information you get from FreeBMD (death quarter, place, references and age if available), you can go to www.gro.gov.uk to obtain a certificate to prove this person's death. It will cost you £7, but if you do not know the references (volume and page numbers, eg "5c, 1002"), then they will charge you more to check through the records. They normally send out the certificates in 7-10 days.

  5. You would probably have to get hold of a copy of a death certificate of the person you are interested in.  One of my ancestors died of violent apoplexy in 1878 - a stroke in modern terms!

  6. It think there's a geneoly site for that. im not sure what it was called but i think it was myfamilytree.com? My brother is really involved in our family history and so on.

  7. You might also be interested in the National Burial Index Records at   findmypast.com

    This site was launched last year containing 10.8 million records provided by 50 family history societies throughout the UK
