There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites!. I have put links to some huge ones on a page of my web site, but you'll have to wade through some advice and warnings first!.

If you didn't mention a country, we can't tell if you are in the USA, UK, Canada or Australia!. I'm in the USA and my links are for it!. If you are not, please edit your question to add a country!. Or, better yet, delete it and ask again, this time putting in the country!.

If you get to a library or FHC with census access, you can get most of your ancestors who were alive in 1850 with 100 - 30 hours of research!. Many young people stop reading here and pick another hobby!.

The really good stuff is in your parents' and grandparents' memories!. No web site is going to tell you how your great grandparents decorated the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the depression, how Great Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960's by smuggling herbs!. Talk to your living relatives before it is too late!.

You won't find living people on genealogy sites!. Don't look for yourself or your parents!. Crooks can use your birth date and your mother's maiden name to steal your identity!. If your parents were married in June and you were born 4 months later, it isn't anyone's business, which is another reason living people's dates are not on public sites!.

Finally, not everything you read on the internet is true!. You have to be cautious and look at people's sources!. Cross-check and verify!. The US Census, to take one example, routinely has people a year or two older or younger than they really are; sometimes 10 years!.

So much for the warnings!. Here is the link!.

You can't rush the process!. Start working on all of the lines evenly and keep working backwards generation by generation!. Eventually you'll run out of civil records and will need to use Church records!. The LDS can help you with that!.

A couple words of advice: First, be skeptical of any family tales until you prove they're true!. We've all had the royalty or indian princess stories passed around!. It's funny how far and wide the legends are!. But records need to back it up!. Believe the records, not the legends!.

The other thing is don't follow online family trees!. There are some notorious frauds out there!. It will probably take you over a year to finish the project, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth it!. In fact, the further you get into researching your family, the more fascinating the people you find!. My husband's tree had once been done by someone who only looked for names and dates!. She never looked at who the people were!. When I went back and did the tree over, I found a Pilgrim who fell off the Mayflower and had to be rescued during a terrible storm, three of the Salem witches, a whole line of Tories from the Revolution who got kicked out after the war and ended up in Canada, a Dutch minister's wife who once owned the land where the World Trade Center stood and entire generations of Amish and Mennonites who nobody had looked at before!.!.!.including the leaders of the Anabaptist movement in Switzerland who were jailed for their beliefs until a German prince paid for their release and allowed them to settle in the Palatinate!.

The princess may or may not exist!. But the 2000 ancestors you meet along the way may have far better stories than hers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
