Question:

How do i trace my family history for free?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: First, gather as much information (names, dates, places) as you can from talking to your parents, grandparents and other relatives. Then, you could try a few of these resources:

http://www.familysearch.org - Probably the best free online resource.

http://www.ancestry.com is one of the best but has a hefty subscription fee (for most of its databases).

Also, you can check the surname message boards for his surname at:

http://genforum.genealogy.com
http://boards.ancestry.com

For links to helpful sites, you will want to take a look at:

http://www.cyndislist.com

And finally for a lot of different resources:

http://www.rootsweb.com

Good luck,
