Question:i need to find my dad plz help


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i need to find my dad plz help

O.K., you posted this in genealogy, so I will provide genealogy sites.
People keep claiming that live people are not listed on genealogy sites; this is blatantly false. I, myself, and my 6 siblings are ALL on genealogy websites. The good news is that at least part of the informaition is false.
Here, then, are some websites:
Free sites: there are several to choose from. Start with:
http://www.searchforancestors.com/...

http://www.censusrecords.net/?o_xid=2739...

http://www.usgenweb.com/

http://www.census.gov/

http://www.rootsweb.com/

http://www.ukgenweb.com/

http://www.archives.gov/

http://www.familysearch.org/

http://www.accessgenealogy.com/...

http://www.cyndislist.com/

http://www.geni.com/

Assuming they emigrated from Europe, start with Ellis Island and the Battery Conservancy sites:
http://www.ellisisland.org
http://www.castlegarden.org

For Scotland, check:

For Sweden:

http://www.cherokee-nc.com/geneology.php...
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/herita...

Netherlanders: http://www.genlias.nl

For a fee, try a DNA test:
When you really want to know where your ancestors came from, try such sites as: www.familytreedna.com, dnatribes.com, dnaancestryproject.com, and, of course, the National Geographics Genotype program, https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/geno...
For Jewish ancestry, try:
www.israelgenealogy.com

For people from India, try:

Finding live people:
Two good places I use are www.zabasearch.com and www.peoplefinder.com

Don't forget, use your local library. Ours (a small one, yet) has www.ancestry.com and www.heritagequest.com, as well as periodicals, books and guidance from an experienced genealogist.

Keep good notes on where you find what: sources are very important.

Good luck!

  • No one is supposed to post info on living people here.

    And without more info: like where you are from, what circumstances separated you, and if he is supposed to be alive and when/where last you saw him, we couldn't help.

    Try searching for his name, try checking people.yahoo.com, whitepages.com & zabasearch. If you are young, try your paternal grandparents if you know them. If you are in the US you can try writing a letter for the SS Administration to send on to him - they do this in case of emergencies and will read the letter. If your parents were married and are no longer then you should have a last known address, and potential names of his friends there, that you can ask if they have heard from him.

    Do you think your dad is still alive? If so, start with http://www.whitepages.com or http://www.melissadata.com/cgi-bin/peopl...

    If you think he may be dead and need more to start your search, start at http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/

    From there, go to your public library where you can use the expensive search services completely free.

    no not free
