Amada Greising: There are two FREE genealogy websites I use on a constant basis. One is rootsweb.com, which contains many family trees submitted by genealogy researchers and the other is USGenWeb.com. USGenWeb is search able by location. Search by state and then by county within that state. Many states and counties have volunteers who have spent endless hours loading records onto their respective sites. Some have much information while others have little. I don't know that there is actually an easy answer to your question not knowing the specifics of your situation. Family history research takes much time and devotion. Good luck....Show more
Octavio Roylance: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.aspIt'll have a lot of links to the pay site Ancestry.com, but there's a LOT of useful info available on that site for free.I found the 1880 Census data especially useful....Show more
Buddy Ardd: Here's another free site with down loadable forms and links to ! other sites.http://www.cyndislist.com/There's every a link to a site that you can join forums that people exchange info and do limited records checks for you. Meaning they might get a copy of the records your missing to prove your info....Show more
Hugo Pittari: I'm not too experienced on that as I'm still looking. I don't even know where to find family trees. In the past I think it was that you were able to go to a Baptist Church and go through their family tree book for free but I think they charge now. I THINK it was Baptist...Anyways I'm trying to find out who I am and I went online and googled "Family Tree" and then it'll ask for last names. But they charge. I got introduced to a website called Pipl. Believe it or not they give out more information than other people search websites without charging. I also got info about family on facebook if you enter names into the top line under search person. It'll even give you obituaries of those names and any newspaper art! icles with that individuals name in it....Show more
Rosa! lia Hibler: Ask your parents and grandparents. Genealogy is a hobby, like fly fishing. Asking a student to do it for homework is like asking a stident who had never fished to head out into the mountains with a fly rod and come back with enough trout to feed a party of twelve - in an afternoon. Feel free to print this off. You've either misunderstood your teacher or your teacher is a fool.There are 400,000 free sites. These are the biggest:http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_se...http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgihttp://boards.ancestry.com/http://genforum.genealogy.com/...Show more
Doreatha Kjellsen: I think Ted Pack will agree with me when I say please please please return to your school and let your teacher know s/he is an absolute fool to think a student can do for homework what it takes a genealogist with proper skill and knowledge several 100's or 1000's of hours over decades to do.Please do not go to a subscriber submitted site, type in y! our name, and print off the first thing that pops up as both fact and applicable to you. It's not. There's no regulation on accuracy and many many many hobbyists either don't know what they're doing, and a rare few are purposeful in their disinformation tactics.When I was in school I received an A mark for refusal to do a similar assignment . I researched and documented cases in the Holocaust where similar assignments were used against the children's families as the basis of my refusal. You might try something like this, but research the how to's of proper genealogy or the pitfalls of internet genealogy. The key here is to actually do work and make a valid point....Show more
