Answer 2

it is quite hard to find your family history over the web of trough book unless if your well-known. there are a few prior resources, but they may not be accurate.

this site:

http://www.genealogytoday.com/surname/fi...

might help, all you have to do is type in a little bit more information.

but again to warn you, this site may not be accurate. it's better of asking the seniors in your family to help you out- they know much more then you think.

Answer 3

i love pasta

Answer 4

I would try going onto ancestry.com

Answer 5

If you are looking just for info regarding a last name.. of course, you never find anything.  That isn't your family history.

YOUR family history is your dad and mom.. mom's maiden/family name is not the same. Your history includes your 4 grandparents, that makes 4 names. One more generation back is 8 persons.. and names.

The PERSONS are the history. Not the name. Since you are living (probably your parents as well), none of that is going to be online.. it is private information. Same for grandparents.

Not trying to be nasty, but family history is not "out there" in one package, but involves you finding your own unique pieces and putting those together. It has to start FROM YOU, and go back, and use records to do it.  Like your grandparents birth certs (death records, if they are dead.. which in a few generations, all the ancestors are dead).

Finding your family history "for you" is like going out to dinner "for you".  Uhhh.. I get all the fun, you miss it.

I am happy to explain HOW it works.  www.cyndislist.com is another great site, since it has thousands of links.

For the moment, the start is to understand why your family history and your last name are two separate things.

Assignment.. by tomorrow.. you can pull out your birth cert to "prove" your link to your parents, and probably their birth certs, to "prove" their parents.  For the moment, TRUST the little gray lady about this.. even when you know it, get the record/ proof.  Just a few generations, and you'll know why I started you off like that.

And hey.. right here is a cheering section, where you can get to know us folks, post a question anytime, and get leads. Hint.. the more exact your question, the better the result. "my grandpa Leon Smith died in NY, about 12 yrs ago, but I need the date"  is way more productive than "where can I find death records?" (we need the locality to give you the right answer).

We're fun, really we are.

edit-  I love pasta  too, but you get real info with the pasta, from me.

Answer 6

There are many websites.  Some have family trees, some records, some mailing list and message boards.  Ancestry.Com has all of those things.  If you find it too pricey your public library might have a subscription to it you can use.  

They have all the U.S. censuses through 1930. The 1940 and later are not available to the public yet.  They have immigration and military records and indexes to vital records of many states.  

Now, a word of caution.  Don't take as absolute fact everything you see in family trees on their websites or ANY website, free or not free.  The information is subscriber submitted, folks like you and me, not by experts working for the websites.  There are errors. The trees are usually not documented or poorly documented.  You might see  different info on the same people from different subscribers. Then you will see repeatedly the same info from different subscribers on the same people, 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.  

If you haven't already, get as much information from your living family as possible, particularly your senior members.

Tape them if they will let you.  They probalby will be confused on some things but what might seem to be insignificant story telling might turn out to be very significant.  

Find out if any has any old family bibles. Ask to see and make copies of birth, marriage and death certificates. Also, baptismal, first communion, confirmation and marriage certificates can be helfpul. Catholic church records can be helpful.  In our Diocese the registers on baptisms,first communion, confirmaiton, marriage and death are periodically sent to the Chancery Office to be microfilmed.

A Family History Center at a Latter Day Saints (Mormon) Church has records on people all over the world, not just Mormons.

In Salt Lake City, they have the world's largest genealogical collection.  Their Family History Centers can order microfilm for you to view at a nominal fee.  Just call them or visit their free website, FamilySearch.org to find out their hours for the general public.

I have never had them to try and convert me or send their missionaries by to ring my doorbell.  I haven't heard of them doing that to anyone else that has used their resources.

Answer 7

Unfortunately just a last name isn't nearly enough to go on.  There are others with that last name and it's impossible to know if they're related to you or not.

Answer 8

Try these. I have some ancestry in Italy.

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!

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.
