Question:

Anyone know how I can find out my ancestors and ethic make-up online and for free?

I want to know what percent english, german, irish, whatever, etc. I am. I want to know this for free, preferably on the internet. I am also trying to avoid registering an address/credit card if possible. All they should need is my last name right?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Which do you want first, online, or free?

Free is at home, ask your living ancestors for all they can tell you of their parents and grandparents, full names, places and dates of births, marriages and deaths.

Free meaing someone else pays means your public library, and the local LDS family history center. Maybe either or both those can provide you with access to census images which you will need.

A few online sites you can't do without: rootsweb.com, ancestry.com's free resources (most aren't), & familysearch.org.
