does anyone know any free genelogy sites that I can go to in order to work on family tree?

Answer 1

Here are some large free sites. I paste the answer because people ask the same Q 3 - 4 times a day. The open and resolved Q have some more links to large free sites.

http://www.cyndislist.com/
(240,000+ links, all cross-indexed.)

http://www.familysearch.com
(Mormon's mega-site)

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
(450,000,000+ entries, of varying quality)

http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=
Surname meanings and origins; no specific individuals, but fun.


These are for the USA only:

http://www.usgenweb.net/
(Subdivided into state sites, which all have county sites.)

http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
(Social Security Death index - click on "Advanced".)

http://find.person.superpages.com/
(US Phone book, for looking up distant cousins)

If you get serious, you should probably buy a genealogy program. I like Roots Magic. Family Tree Maker is very popular. Both are $29, but you can sometimes find old versions in discount bins at software stores.

Answer 3

Yes, there are many. Below are some reference sites, but what you want is Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com.

These others may also post some form of GEDCOM files, the standard for communication among genealogists. Purchase Family Tree Maker on-line, and you can post to Ancestry.com via that software, and yet, have your own data base of ancestors.

Answer 4

Honestly the best way to go about it, especially if your a novice like me, is to go to a Mormon or Church of Latter Day Saints and use their resources. You do not have to be Mormon or affiliated with the church. They are so knowledgable and helpful it is amazing. It"s like being with a personal tutor, and the best thing is it is FREE.

Answer 5

Family Search is another good one too

Answer 6

Goggle "geneology". Then narrow down your search.
