Ancestry and Geneology Online Websites and Research?
I am interested in your experience with geneology and ancestry websites like http://www.rootsweb.com and http://ancestry.com, etc. Most of my general web searches result in links to these sites and many of these sites require registration or a paid subscription. I don’t mind registering with one site, but I don’t want to be required to obtain a paid subscription to obtain info that is really free. I already use the main government resource site for ancestry and geneology, but I would like a site that I can trace everything at all at once. What site do you use and prefer?
Here are some great websites!

Used Ancestry.com free trial period and accessed as much as possible, copied the chart into MS word and then went to Ellis Island website to research further. Copy and pasted information into MS word. Also, some cemetaries are online to see where the ancestors are buried. Also, accessed for military records. What I did like about Ancestry.com is that it searchs and populates the family tree chart. I was able to go back as far as the 1600′s. I took those names and did further rearch using those names I did know. Get this, I found out I was related to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, my favorite poet.
I’ve used Ellis Island to trace my ancestry coming in from overseas.

Ancestry and Health $100.37 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Racial and ethnic groups can exhibit substantial average differences in disease incidence, disease severity, disease progression, and response to treatment. In the United States, African Americans have higher rates of mortality than does any other racial or ethnic group for 8 of the top 10 causes of death. U.S. Latinos have higher rates of death from diabetes, liver disease, and infectious diseases than do nonLatinos. Native Americans suffer from higher rates of diabetes, tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, and alcoholism than does the rest of the U.S. population. For the monogenic diseases, the frequency of causative alleles usually correlates best with ancestry, whether familial, ethnic, or geographical. To the extent that ancestry corresponds with racial or ethnic groups or subgroups, the incidence of monogenic diseases can differ between groups categorized by race or ethnicity, and healthcare professionals typically take these patterns into account in making diagnoses.

Rule of 1/1000th Common Ancestry $79.66 PMHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Rule of 1/1000 common ancestry is a criterion used to create meaningful family groupings. It was first adopted by Lawrence Kestenbaum to determine which individuals should be included with specific political families on the Political Graveyard website. The rule can be made applicable to other genealogy projects. For lineal ancestors, this can be approximated by 10th degree consanguinity. The reason this is approximate, and not exact, is that common ancestry is halved every time the degree of consanguinity is increased by one. For example the degree of consanguinity of a parent is one. This means that a parent provides 1/2 1 or 1/2 of a persons ancestry (the other parent provides the other half). A 7th great grandparent has a 9th degree consanguinity, and therefore providing 1/2 9 or 1/512 common ancestry. An 8th great grandparent provides 1/1024 common ancestry which is as close as one can come to 1/1000th, and so this is the cutoff use Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 126 Publication Date: 2010/08/20 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.30 inches |
