Professional websites that will trace my geneology?

Question

Answer 1

National Geographic. I believe you pay $100.00 and send a swab of your saliva, and they send you a traced geneology map of some sort.

Answer 2

Websites don't trace people's genealogy. The subscribers(folks like you and me) do and then they submit their trees to the websites.  There are errors in family trees on website, free or not free.  You shouldn't take as absolute fact everything you see in them. They are usually not documented or poorly documented.  You will frequently see different info on the same people from many different subscribers. Then you will see the same info on the same people from many different subscribers, but that is no guarantee at all it is correct  A lot of people copy without verifying.   You could make up a family tree and it would be accepted by the websites.

There are many websites some have family trees(I have already warned you to be cautious).

Some have records and some have mailing lists and message boards.  

Ancestry.Com has all four.  It isn't free but if you find it too pricey, your public library might have a subscription to it. 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 military and immigration records and indexes to vital records of many states.

Another good source is a Family History Center at a Latter Day Saints(Mormon) Church.  They have 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.

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. They are very nice and helpful.  Just call your nearest Mormon Church or visit their free website, FamilySearch.org to get their hours for the general public.

Contact your local Genealogy Society or Historical Society. They can recommend someone that they know to be trustworthy and who lives near you for better communication.

Tracing genealogy is normally a long term project.. you are talking thousands of dollars.  You do understand this, right?
