i want to trace my family tree does any 1 know any free sites?

Question

i want to go as far back as poss without having to pay for my rite to do so

Answer 1

I save this and paste it because the same questions come up a lot:

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

Sometimes in the genealogy category,
Arts & Humanities -> Genealogy.
Sometimes elsewhere. The fourth time I typed in three of my favorite links I realized it would be better to make a good list and save it. Since this is a general answer, some of the paragraphs may not apply to you. If you search or browse the resolved questions in the Genealogy category, you can find more links from other people.

Two warnings:
1) It takes time. Compiling a good family tree is like writing a term paper for a high school history class. You have to do research.
2) Most of the genealogy data on the web is about people born before 1900, to protect living people's privacy. You'll have to find your grandparents (or great grandparents) off the web.

Here are some 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, 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)

These two are for the UK & Ireland only:
http://www.genuki.org.uk
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/


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.

Answer 2

And what approximately organic and organic siblings (from one or the two comparable bio mom and dad)? How come they might't be slightly of the photograph. that's truthfully greater precise that the adoptive family members's information. No, that's no longer truthful yet my journey with it with our eldest while he had to do it became into they do only no longer evaluate it. that's not excluded on purpose...that's lack of information. He crammed contained in the data as in line with our family members yet I placed a be conscious in there that this became into no longer the organic and organic lineage. reality is, HE needed it to be our family members on the project so i attempted to stability that on the time. i do no longer prefer to undermine his definition of mom and pa and so on... We communicate approximately his first family members oftentimes and each time which will become a spotlight, we pass with it. Like while he tells human beings he has 3 mothers and 3 dads. Bio, foster, adoptive. It became into his project. We did it his way, returned, with the caveat to the instructor.
