Where is a good site to trace your family's history/ lineage?

Question

"Free site" suggestions are preferred, but any constructive answer is appreciated! Hey, perhaps YOU are related to me?! LOL

Answer 1

to find your family background you just pick your family name(last name) and search it on web!

just like wikipedia.com

u will find much more by searching on different search engines & sites.

Answer 2

There are several sites that researchers upload their family trees to. Just remember they are as accurate as the effort the researcher put in to get the information. Most of the time they just copy from others, so if you find yours, verify as much information you can.

I like Ancestry.com the best but it's by subscription, which you can pay monthly.

Other recommended sites:

www.gencircles.com

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

www.familytreemaker.com

www.familysearch.org

www.ancestry.com (you may be able to do some things without a subscription, else wait for a 14 day trial)

www.google.com (put in your last name, the county your family was from using quotes ("fayette county"), and the state. You might find people researching or related to your last name and then make contact with them.

Oh, and after 15 years of searching, I think I'm related to everyone:)

Good Luck! (and have fun with this)

Answer 3

The LDS (Mormon) genealogy (the correct spelling - it's not "geneology") site.

Answer 4

The absolute best & biggest FREE ancestry database & search site is www.familysearch.net. It is owned & operated by the LDS. Good Luck! W.E Fossett.

Answer 5

Ancestry.com although not free is good. LDS is free: familysearch.org

Answer 6

You can start searching here and for free forms just type in free geneology forms in the search bar for them.
