Question

where or how to get free genaolgy on line

help me or show me how to get free genaology on line?

Answer 1

1) Talk to your family members and write down full names; birth, marriage, and death dates; and location information.

2) Focus on one name/family at a time and research online. Some of my favorite free sites are:

[Huge LDS Database] http://www.familysearch.org
[For English research] http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
[Social Security Death Index] http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
[Western States Marriages] http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/search.cfm

Browse the message boards on ancestry.com and genealogy.com and even do searches on Yahoo or Google with your more unusual names in quotes (e.g., “Ebenezer Beetlejuice”). You will be surprised what you find!

3) Visit your library and ask them if they subscribe to ancestry.com or heritagequest.com and also visit a NARA (http://www.archives.gov/) office if you have one close by. You largest and most valuable source of information will be censuses.

Answer 2

Hey Dicky Ray,

I see a few good sites were given already. Some of the sites that are free are also leading you there to try to sell you something. Follow that thought, so, some of the PAY sites give information for FREE!

Swyrich.com is selling Coat of Arms, but give a fairly accurate of about 50% of the names I put into it. Not bad for free.

LDS Family Search is almost totally free, you can buy CDs of various pedigrees.

Ellis Island is Free to join, free to search, free to take records from the internet, manifests, etc. But, they do want to sell certificates to you.

You can get GENEALOGY.com and ANCESTRY.com for free if you purchase a Genealogy software package. The free period is about 30 to 90 days.

So, keep that in mind, and I will post what I consider free sites. I can't post everything, there is too much.
