Doesn't Exist.

Do what the pros do.

Search directly by family surname.

Google in: (your surname) + ancestry

There is no majic website that has all the answer in 2 minutes.

I have investigated my family back 6 generations and still have at least 2 to go to connect my family's known origin in Scotland. So far, it has taken me 6 years.

Don't be discouraged. It is a worthwhile hobby.

In general it is not possible to go beyond six or seven generations, because no valid documentation is maintained previously. But, there is a psychic way to solve the mysteries which is called "Hypnotic Regression Process".
Try with a good and reliable Hypnotist. Best of luck.

I think the word is out that everybody can find their family tree on the internet.

There are many good websites. However, family trees on any website, free or paid, must be viewed with caution. Don't take everything you see in them as fact. They are user submitted and mostly not documented. Even when you see the same information repeatedly by many different submitters that is no guarantee it is correct. A lot of people copy without verifying. Use the information as clues as to where to get the documentation.

What you really need to do is to get as much information from living family as possible, particularly from your senior member. Tape them if they will let you. It might turn out they are confused on some things but what might seem to be insignificant story telling might be very significant.

Now this board is an All English Speaking Board and people on it are from the U.S.,U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Mostly what I am saying will apply to someone in the U. S.

Go to your public library and check out the genealogy section and see what all they have. They might have a subscription to Ancestry.Com you can utilize. Ancestry.Com has lots of records and seems to be getting more all the time. They have all the U. S. censuses through 1930. The 1940 and later are not available to the public yet. They have U.K. censuses also.

Still be careful about family trees on their website.

A Family History Center at a Latter Day Saints(Mormon) Church has lots of records, not just on Mormons. In Salt Lake City, they have the world's largest genealogical collection. Their Family History Centers can order microfilm for you to view at a nominal fee.

They have never tried to convert me or have they sent their missionaries by to ring my doorbell. I haven't heard of them doing that to anyone else that has used their resources.

You will need vital records. Births, Marriages, Deaths. They give names of parents including mother's maiden name. Also an application for a social security number gives names of both parents including mother's maiden names and their places of birth.

Now, it wasn't until the first quarter of the 20th century when governing bodies in the U. S. started collecting vital records. Each state has its own laws as to who and when someone that is not immediate family can obtain birth and death records. In Texas, if you were not immediate family, you use to not be able to get a birth record until 50 years after the birth. It has been changed to 75 years now. States are concerned with identity theft and have tightened up.

Before states, counties and cities started recording vital information, you will have to turn to churches, Baptism, Marriages and Deaths. These records usually have the names of both parents.

Rootsweb and FamilySearch.org are two free sites. Cyndi'slist.com has a multitude of sites listed, some free, some paid.

Also, I have a friend whose mother came from Calabria and father from Sicily. She states she has found lots of records at the National Archives in Washington. When you first go there, you have to go through a lot of rigamarole to get a name tag but once you do each time you go back with your name tag, you have no problem at all.
