Try these.\n\nOr try the last one for comments from people who have gone.\n\nSince you are from there, do you have any family there who can help search?\n\nHope this helps, CONGRATULATIONS and good luck with the search.

zabasearch.com and anywho.com, both free. \nAncestry.com and reunion.com, not free. I do believe I have a couple other sites bookmarked, when and if I find them I will post again.

Hi.. I am 62 years old and I met my dad only when I was 19. I was a product of WW2, when my dad was ,at 17, sent over to the Philippines to fight the war. Anyway, re: your question, why don't you go to www.ancestry.com or www.my family.com or leave a message there. That was where I found dozens of first and second cousins and then in 2001, my half-sis(who is all-American) found me. I also found the only surviving sis of my dad,thru the white pages..Iam sharing my story with you because I believe if you're really serious about looking for your roots, you will find them. The internet has made the world a little smaller. See, I had to be 62 before I got to finally got to the USA and meet my half-brother, who now has leukemia. Don't give up. Just keep at it. Good luck and may God bless your search.

Six people with the surname of RANEW served in the Civil War on the Confederate side.  I belong to Ancestry.com,  but I would have to update to find anymore information than that.  If you are interested go to Ancestry.com.

I maintain the site for my church, and I subscribe to the mailing list for web keepers in my denomination. We discuss this all the time.\n\nI also do genealogy as a hobby. I often tell people the best web page I ever saw had a 25% grey background and nothing but line after line of black courier text. It was  a transcription of the 1850 census for Monroe County VA (Now WV) with about 6 dozen of my dead ancestors on it.\n\nSo - content. It has what I'm looking for. It should be laid out in a logical order for first-time visitors. People who visit every week will learn how to navigate it quickly enough. Make t easy for the first-timers.\n\nAppearance - clean, without useless decorations. A light background, dark text, text links blue and underlined, nothing else blue or underlined. Some of my fellow church web keepers disagree with me on this. My argument was that about 1 time in 20 I use my ATM card at a retail store, I push the wrong button in the wrong sequence and have to start over, because each ATM scanning port seems to have a slightly different standard. I don't want to have to play "Guess which button"; I want to pay for my loaf of bread and get home. The same on a web page; I don't want to have to guess where the text links are. I want them to be blue and underlined, just like they are on the other 90% of the sites I visit.\n\nSome genealogy sites have antique floral wallpaper and "Take Me back to West Virginia" musical background. I consider both useless decorations.\n\nBread crumbs or a navigation bar on each page help. "Bread Crumbs" show you where you are. Each word or phrase is a link. So, on a query board for Monroe County, at the top you'd see:\n\nNorth America -> USA -> West Virginia -> Monroe County\n\nClicking on the "USA" link would take you to a page of states, and so forth. (the Ancestry.com query boards do this really well.)\n\n80% - 90% of visitors to the four sites I maintain come to them through an interior page via a search engine. At least half of them have come by mistake. So, it should be clear at the top what the page has and what it is about. \n\nMy church site, for instance, is in Modesto, California. It has a map showing how to find us. We get lots of visits from people looking for a map of Modesto.\n\nThere should be a way to get to the home page on every page, at the very least. If your site had tiers, it should be easy to get "up" one tier. (For instance, if your site had mountain bikes for sale, pictures of your trip to the Alps and recipies your grandmother handed down to you, and I found the apple pie recipie, I should be able to get "up" to the recipie index with one click.)\n\nInformation - people who are buying things want prices. People looking for a church want to know where and when they meet, and, for men in California at least, if they should wear a tie. Exactly what first-time visitors want depends on the site. Whatever it is, they should be able to find it easily.\n\nOne of my pet peeves is fixed text size. Some web designers think everyone in the world has 20/20 vision and a 19-inch monitor. We don't A quality web page will allow people to enlarge or reduce the text size, and its design will not suffer. It should work at any resolution, too.\n\nI also hate it when people put a full-size picture on a site and set the dimensions to 100x200 or so; I have to wait while my browser downloads 4 MB, then wait again while it shrinks the picture.\n\nIf you have more than 100 pages, you should consider a mini-search engine. If you get one, put a link labeled "Search this site" on every page.

Looking for "real people" eh! lol. I'd think that the best place to look is in a phone book or some police records or something like that.

You might want to try Ancestry.com. If it's not there, the best way is to contact the public library in the town where they lived. Contact info at the second link below.

a couple of sites are www.rootsweb.com and www.familysearch.org . They are free, and a good place to start. Happy Hunting!

It is so good to see someone looking for their mother. I am a mother trying to find her daughter. I love her so much and would do anything to see her and tell her. Look in the court house where the last time you knew of her and see if there are any public records. Look in the phone book, or call the information and ask for her name. Did you know any of her family, a brother maybe? I would love to help. There are sites where you can put your name and age where thousands look for lost loves but I quit looking there because there were sooooooooo many of them. I placed a call out here where maybe someone might have heard of her. Her name was Deborah Janean Huff born oct 29 1974 in Kansas City Kansas and raised in kc missouri. Good luck sweetie.

Try searching for people on these sites if you haven't done it yet.  But you might have to take time to register before you can do a search on the members.  I hope at least you know the name.

a good website is www.b4usearch.com\n\nClick on the "people" button above the search box. If you have some information about the person you're looking for then it can generally help. I think it uses the electoral register to locate them though, so if they're not on that then it won't be any help, good luck with your search!

The best sight on the web for this is http://www.familysearch.org/ which is run by the church of the latter day saints.  It's free, and probably one of the most comprehensive archieves bar none.  There's also Cyndi's List (www.cyndislist.com) which hold tons of free and paid sites you can check.  Don't forget message boards, I struck gold after 3 years of searching in one night by meeting a second cousin.  I didn't know she exsisted.  Through her I managed to trace my father's side back to 1599!  Best of luck with your searches.  There's nothing like geneaology for a hobby!:)

I am very into geneology.  If you contact me via my profile, I can do some looking for you (just thought I would offer).\n\nBut to answer your question, contact the court house, public records, and ask them the information that you are looking for.  Most that I have dealt with are more than willing to help you.  You will have to pay for some of the research (which is why I offered to help you with some things - I don't charge), and to get copies of records.\n\nLike I said, contact me with the information you are looking for and I will see what I can find for you.\n\n** Additional Information **\n\nJudith Chastain Ballew\nBorn: 1690, Canton, Bern, Switzerland, Switzerland*\nMarried: 1730, Goochland, VA \nDied: 1735, Goochland, VA\n\n(* Some records have her being born in France or on the voyage to the US.)\n\nHusband isn't known and there are no children listed for her.  I did find her parents name and paternal grandparents information.  Detailed information is going to be hard to come by in the US - you may have to contact people in Switzerland.\n\nIf you need more, let me know.
