Samatha Nicar: you could try www.familysearch.org, Cyndie's list, roots web all free
Isreal Kochheiser: 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/ www dot accessgenealog! y dot com/... http://www.cyndislist.com/ www geni dot 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!Check out this article on five great free genealogy websites:http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...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.Don't forget to check Yahoo! answers and click on the profile o! f the top 10 contributers. Ted Pack has his own site with link! s.Everyone wants free. Try your local library.As to "fool-proof", there is no such thing. All sources are error-prone. DNA experts estimate that as high as 20% of children born are NOT the children of the assumed father! Only DNA testing can tell; it will NOT tell you for past generations....Show more
Lahoma Beadell: attempt the Mormons. heavily, they have a geneaology cyber web website (call escapes me) that interior reason good and loose. i became into able to song lower back to my large-large-large Grandparents on my mom's ingredient in the Ukraine.
