Question:

Where can I search for my ancestors without paying any money at all???

I am searching for the History of my family, particularly Mr George Paton McGLashan, who the Arbroath Harbour master in 1875, however I do not have a credit card so cannot register for many of the sites I would like to know if there are any sites that allow you to search all the records for FREE?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: ancestry.com does have some free areas but mostly they charge. there is also www.genealogy.com, www.familysearch.org, www.genweb.com and also try using the local or state genealogy research sites...for example if know your family was from ohio then do a web search for 'ohio genealogy' and it will show you lots of sites.
