Where is your family from? If they were Scottish, scotlandspeople.gov.uk can let you search names in their database of birth, death and marriage certificates back to 1855, but then you have to pay to view those certificates. If they were English, you can look them up in the 1901 census at www.pro.gov.uk. Again, you can get free search results but then pay to view an individual entry. If they're not British, I cannot help.

while im not sure of any 'free' sites, most counties still allow you to check criminal records through the clerk of court in each county courthouse, but unless you know where they have lived or were they may have been arrested prior it makes for a difficult search. hope this helps

The links listed above are good but are pay services, as well as geneology.com. However, if you have all your info ready you can sign up for a 2 week free trial and get most all of your work done in that time...especially since you are not going back that far.\n\nI traced my fathers side back to the late 15th century this way. Real neat stuff but also very addictive so be careful. Also easy to get lead in a bad direction so double and triple check all your results before moving to the next generation.\n\nAlso, a decent free site is www.rootsweb.com. \n\nNewsgroups are an excellent resource as well but too complicated to explain here. Feel free to email me if you need help getting started.

It may take a little work and a little money,but the best thing to do is to first sit down with your parents or grandparents and collect important dates,like births, deaths, departures, and arrivals. Then the office of public records usually has death certificates and other information for about $5-$15 per document. Including birth records, and immigration list and charts. Don't fall for those crappy genealogy sites, they kinda just give you a general idea, about your last name etc. Now, if you want even further the National Geographic Society will send you a kit, and test your DNA and send you a map which will show your ancestral history back 100s of years. i hoped this helped .G'luck

ancestors?\n\nYou can do research online.  If you've got names of your parents/grandparents, dates of birth, places of birth, you can check census records or other historical documents.  They're all online.  Try your public library.

i don't thank you can unless you are a relative. you can use some of the on line search sites. the deeper you go to find information the more it costs.(in my experience) so beware, i know, I've been there. try ancestry,com for starters.
