Is there any totally free web sites to search for your ancestors?? Every site I have found gives names but doesnt give any information they want you to subscribe.

To find your family history, go to ancestry.com and check out their database, tools and resources. It's a great site and a lot more secure than using Yahoo Answers for your family tree search.\n\nBut... please do not post so many personal details about yourself and your family online!  There are so many scammers and con artists out here, you have no idea who might see this post and try to con you.  Now all these strangers know your grandmother's maiden name which may not sound like much, but a savvy con artist can take the information in your post and use it to exploit you.

Try Ancestry.com or Rootsweb.com and enter your family name.  If someone has already posted a family tree it will display it for you.  Ancestry.com charges a fee for more in depth searches but some areas are free.  And Rootsweb.com has more free searches but will sometimes boot you right back over to Ancestry.com.  Or try typing your family name along with 'genealogy' or 'family tree' behind it into your search engine...that will sometimes display some existing family tree where someone else has done the investigating.  Happy hunting to you.

I've been researching for 3 years (i live in Maryland/ Delaware mason-dixon line area) and use ancestry.com, too. but to be honest, i found a lot of misinformation there...try rootsweb.com......it has a lot, at least it did for me and it's FREE. i paid $200 for ancestry. i found it was just a good place to start, but lots of bad "info" that can be confusing to starters, though it does have great census and newspaper collections.\nmy best advice is to enter the address for your research areas (county, state, etc.) in google and follow it from there...u will find libraries and so much more, even Archives with family records. i found out that my family were early settlers from England in the First state, Delaware, and had tons of my family's records, Bibles, etc. in the state and national archives. \nHappy Hunting! It's amazing what you'll find once you get going!

This site shows you how to download the free software called Personal Ancestral File, and has detailed on-screen tutorials to show you step-by-step how to use it to build your family tree.\nI've used this program for years and it is very straightforward to use and really helpful in organising my genealogy.

how is it that no one knows his name yet you search for him anyway? what are you basing your search on? Your gran ma can't remember his name? Well maybe I can see if she has old folks disease, but does she not have some record of him,too much info lacking to go hunting sorry

Go to the "find a person" websites and begin to do searches.  They are free, and we have found several people by searching there.  You may need to do just a last name search, which may give you family members of individuals you are looking for.\n\nThe link I've included is just one of many you can use.

This is a long, general answer to your question, with some links. \n\nGenealogy is the most popular hobby on the Internet for people over 40. As an example, Cyndi's List (cyndislist.com) is a web site with nothing but links to other genealogy sites. She has over 250,000 links.\n\nThe next two links are to the two largest free data bases on the Internet. Family Search (familysearch.com) is run by the LDS Church - the Mormons. RootsWeb World Connect (worldconnect.genealogy) is a collection of genealogical data that other genealogists have uploaded. \n\nTry your two surnames in each data base - your father's surname and your mother's maiden surname. That will give you a feel for how much research has been done on those two surnames. Even better, if you can, call your grandparents and ask what THEIR grandparent's names were - maiden name for the ladies. Their birth day and birth state will help too. Those 16 people are your great-great grandparents. \n\nMost Yahoo! users are 20, give or take 10 years. Most people have children between the ages of 20 and 40, which averages to 30 years per generation. So, if you were born 20 years ago, your mother and father were born 50 years ago, your four grandparents were born 80 years ago, your eight great-grandparents were born 110 years ago and your sixteen great-great grandparents were born 140 years ago. (Those are averages; your results will vary. If you can get the names of all 16 of your great-great grandparents, you should be able to find at least one or two by name in one of the data bases.\n\nThe fourth link (superpages) is a web-based phone book. It will tell you how many people with your surname have listed phone numbers in the US.\n\nThe last link (begingen.html) is a page on my web site with some hints for beginners.

We have been working on our "Roots" for years.  My great grandfather came from Alabama and his sisters and brothers scattered throughout the US.  We found out the slavemaster's name for our ancestor's but haven't been successful in tracking his ancester's yet.  We were told that The Mormon's kept records from slavery days so now we're concentrating on finding records at The Mormon's Church.  \n\nKeep in mind, that hte slaves were not educated and they did not spell last names the same.  They would spell and write the way it sound.  That only means that some of the ancester's surnames may have had an "A" when others may have had an "O".  Could all be sisters and brothers.\n\nSometimes the slavemasters chose to change the last names of some and some may have had the slavemaster's last name.  It's all so complicated.  \n\nI will continue searching. Maybe we can help each other.  gl
