Want to find some were to find My family history for free?

Question

I am tring to find My family hardage

Answer 1

Your family history will start with yourself, and work backwards. IF you, your parents, grandparents, all have birth/death certificates that you can access, then you would not have to get those. You MIGHT find other relatives/ ancestors online, if someone else has researched them, but nothing guarantees it is free.

One guide to starting the process.  There are THOUSANDS of genealogy sites online.. which one "works" for you is depending on where you are, etc.  Don't expect to find one magic site, that you type in your name, and it has everything all done for you.  

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 main link.

http://www.tedpack.org/yagenlinks.html

That page has links, plus tips and hints on how to use the sites, for a dozen huge free sites. Having one link here in the answer and a dozen links on my personal site gets around two problems. First, Y!A limits us to 10 links in an answer. Second, if one or more of the links are popular, I get "We're taking a breather" when I try to post the answer. This is a bug introduced sometime in August 2008 with the "new look".

Answer 3

Finding your family heritage is a lengthy journey. Some times you will find things for free but most of the time you need to pay for birth, death, marriage, obits, etc. You need all of these to prove your lineage.

Use the net only as a tool. There is so much bad research out there that you could chase the wrong line and have a mess. I would suggest that you invest in a book called unpuzzling your past by Emily Croom. It takes you step by step. Some documents you can now get online thru the Mormon church.

Good luck in your quest
