Question:

Family Genealogy?

were are some places that are free that search family history? I've looked at www.findyourfamilytree.com and www.ancestory.com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Many U.S. counties have their own genealogical websites. Some of them have amazing amounts of information. Through one website maintained by an east Texas county, I was able to find reams of info on my father's ancestors, including biographies, obituaries, burial sites, and even photos of some of them. Through information they provided, I was able to find the burial site where 4 generations of my ancestors are buried. Be wary of any information you obtain from the Church of Latter Day Saints. They are not always reliable. I have found info provided by them which shows my grandmother married to her nephew.

If you know the county and state of a particular ancestor's origin, google that county's genealogical society and see what it pulls up. Of course, you can always guess at a website's name and type it into the URL line and see what results.
