Question: How can I find my lineage online!?
I live in south Louisiana!. I have tried the library, but that wasn't really all that helpful!. I tried googling my grandfather's name to see if I could find his parents' names and whatnot, but that was fruitless as well!.

Do you know of any good sites to use!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Start with what your family knows as for certain (names, birth dates and places, marriage dates and place, death dates and places!. Get all the siblings too where you know you have the right family!. Go back as far as you can go!. Then check out the following websites for HINTS!. Don't take any of it as right!. Do your own research to PROVE it right or wrong!. I have inadvertently put the wrong John to the right father!. There were 2 sons named John but when the 1st John died as a baby they named the next son born John too!. I put all th children of the 2nd John for the 1st John!. Confusing, HUH!? So get it right!.
