does anybody know how to search family ancestry online for free??
family history. i really want to find out but dont know how without paying an arm and a leg in money trying to find out where my family originated from. help me please!
The best way is simply to start with your own family. If you want to do it on the computer, you can download PAF (Personal Ancestral File), which is free genealogy software at http://www.familysearch.org under Order/Download Products. I imagine you can pick it up pretty quick because it is very user-friendly. Then talk to your parents (and grandparents if still alive) and get as much information as you can from them including names, dates, and places.
Here are a few online resources for you to use:
http://www.familysearch.org – Probably the best free online resource.
http://www.ancestry.com is one of the best but has a hefty subscription fee (for most of its databases).
Also, you can check the surname message boards for your surname at:
http://genforum.genealogy.com
http://boards.ancestry.com
For links to helpful sites, you will want to take a look at:
http://www.cyndislist.com
And finally for a lot of different resources:
http://www.rootsweb.com
For grave records:
http://www.findagrave.com
It won’t all be free but it’s worth it.
Good luck,
Dave

Word Searches $6.88 Kids will love it: here are more than 100 of the best word searches ever created! Each puzzle will entice young solvers with a clever title, and all the searches feature distinctive designs that fit the theme. For example “Hang in There” is shaped like a trapeze artist and includes things that might hang—like an ornament or your head. The words (approximately 25 per search) go vertically, horizontally, and diagonally; in an unusual touch, every word in a grid crosses at least one other, and all the words in a grid interconnect. And, as a bonus, every puzzle contains a hidden message—an answer to a punny riddle, a punch line to a silly joke—made up of the uncircled letters! |
