Good Free Genealogy/Ancestor Site?
I’m hoping to make a detailed family tree however I was hoping to find a free site almost (it’d be amazing if it was better) than Ancestry.com. Ancestry is a great site however I do not have money to spend on the features I’d like to use. I’m looking for a site with most of the features ancestry has but for free, if possible. I love the online family tree generator and also the VERY large search database. Does anyone know a comparable, or useful, site?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry,
I am from the USA and so is half of my family however the other half may have come from Mexico.
I am white.
I don’t have one I have many and Ancestry.com is among them. I’m not sure about the online tree generator, however, there are a couple of genealogy software programs that you can download that are free. One is PAF on FamilySearch.org and can be downloaded at: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp the other is Legacy Family Tree and can be downloaded at: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Download.asp
As for free genealogy sites your public libraries will most likely have both Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest.com free for anyone to use while at the library and with a library card you can use Heritage Quest at home.
Another free online resource is U.S. GenWeb at: http://www.usgenweb.org/ they have a page for every state and everything is free. Then there is Rootsweb at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/, a free site hosted by Ancestry.com where you can search for surnames and leave queries on the message boards. Additionally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention FamilySearch.org they have many free online records and are digitizing more every day, all free. Their website is: http://www.familysearch.org/. Be sure to check each state that you need information from as many have their own projects, for example, the state of Missouri has a great website that has many free source documents online at: http://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh/ and South Carolina has many free wills at http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinear…
Also, do not forget to check Cyndi’s List at http://www.cyndislist.com, which has many links for both free and paid sites.
I’m sure I could come up with many more websites but these should keep you busy for a while and there should be lots of family history to be found for free with all these websites.

Joe Celko’s Data and Databases by Celko, Joe Edition ILL, 0 $20.49 Do you need an introductory book on data and databases? If the book is by Joe Celko, the answer is yes. Data and Databases: Concepts in Practice is the first introduction to relational database technology written especially for practicing IT professionals. If you work mostly outside the database world, this book will ground you in the concepts and overall framework you must master if your data-intensive projects are to be successful. If you’re already an experienced database programmer, administrator, analyst, or user, it will let you take a step back from your work and examine the founding principles on which you rely every day-helping you to work smarter, faster, and problem-free. Whatever your field or level of expertise, Data and Databases offers you the depth and breadth of vision for which Celko is famous. No one knows the topic as well as he, and no one conveys this knowledge as clearly, as effectively-or as engagingly. Filled with absorbing war stories and no-holds-barred commentary, this is a book you’ll pick up again and again, both for the information it holds and for the distinctive style that marks it as genuine Celko.* Supports its extensive conceptual information with example code and other practical illustrations.* Explains fundamental issues such as the nature of data and data modeling, and moves to more specific technical questions such as scales, measurements, and encoding.* Offers fresh, engaging approaches to basic and not-so-basic issues of database programming, including data entities, relationships and values, data structures, set operations, numeric data, character string data, logical data and operations, and missing data among others.* Covers the conceptual foundations of modern RDBMS technology, making it an ideal choice for students. |
