Family tree?

Question

Interested in starting a family tree, have spoke to some relatives, what are the best websites?. Any other Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Here are a couple for you......I suggest getting the program Family Tree Maker, it makes it alot easier to do the research and compiling the info.

www.rootsweb.com
www.Ancestry.com
www.familytreemaker.com

Answer 2

Here are some large free sites. I save this and paste it because people ask the same question 1 - 4 times a day:

What are good free sites for genealogy?
or
Does anyone know about the {surname} family?
or
How can I trace my family tree, for free?

Sometimes thay ask in the genealogy category,
Arts & Humanities -> Genealogy
sometimes they don't. If you search or browse the resolved questions in the Genealogy category, you can find more links from other people.

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, some excellent, some bad, most in between)

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.)
(Canada has a Canadian Gen Web, with sites for each province.)

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 in the USA, but you can sometimes find old versions in discount bins at software stores.
