10 points & best answer to those who help me first!. ThanksWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ancestry!.com is great but it costs cheapest way is to buy software from amazon with subscription but first find out all you can uncles aunts grandparents their brothers sisters etc where they lived then go back through the census reports but be careful you can bark up the wrong treeWww@QuestionHome@Com also try any census records (some may be available online, some you'll need to pay for)!. That's how I found mine! With a bit of perseverence and luck!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Ancestry!.com Genes Reunited!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com bmd list is free - but try ancestry!.com as you can have a free two week trialWww@QuestionHome@Com There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites!. I have links to some huge ones below, but you'll have to wade through some advice and warnings first!. This is a text file I paste!. People ask your question 3 - 14 times a day here!. By pasting, you get a long, detailed answer, but I don't get finger cramps from typing!. Researching your family tree is harder than posting on MySpace!. It is about as hard as researching a term paper in a History class!. You don't have to be a Ph!. D!., but you won't do it with five clicks!. Many people stop reading here and pick another hobby!. 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!. Genealogists from the UK answer posts here too!. They are more experienced and more intelligent than I am!. I'm better looking and my jokes are funnier!. 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 your oldest brother was born 4 months later, it isn't anyone's business, which is another reason living people's dates are not on public sites!. So much for the warnings!. Here are some links!. These are large and free!. Many of them have subtle ads for Ancestry!.com in them - ads that ask for a name, then offer a trial subscription!. Watch out for those advertisements!. If you try the links and don't find anyone, go to http://www!.tedpack!.org/yagenlinks!.html It repeats each link, but it has a paragraph of tips and instructions for each one!. http://www!.cyndislist!.com Cyndi's List has over 250,000 sites!. http://www!.familysearch!.org/Eng/Search/f!.!.!.
