answers1: Genealogy Site
answers2: Im looking up my family tree also, and I haven't found any
FREE sites either. Ancestry.com, Genebase.com, sometimes you can get
a little info from the sites. Look up anything like ancestry,
genealogy.com , my family tree,Laterday saint site ( they are Mormans
and suppose to have the best site, but I think you still have to pay.
Hope any of this helps tojen

answers4: There are a couple of options you can try. <br>
One, is that your local Library might have something called
Ancestry.com Library Edition. <br>
<br>
The Library Edition is free, but not all Library's have it. It's been
a great service for me, because right now, I can't afford a genealogy
service right now either:) <br>
<br>
Also, you could try to google: Free Genealogy Sites, and you might get
something. <br>
Sometimes, you might have to sign-up with a free account in order to
get records. <br>
<br>
This website sounds like it's free: <a
href="http://www.myheritage.com/research"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.myheritage.com/research</a> <br>
<br>
But, you have to install it and sign -up first:)
answers5: My answer is lengthy and I apologize for that but I want to
warn you of the advantages and the pitfalls of genealogy on the
internet. <br>
<br>
Websites that only have family trees are not worth a plug nickel
unless you are willing to verify the information with
documents/records. They are subscriber submitted, very seldom
documented and if they are they are poorly documented. You frequently
will see the different info on the same people from different
subscribers. Then you will see the absolute same info on the same
people from different subscribers but you would be very foolish if you
thought for one moment that that means it is correct. A lot of people
copy without verifying. The information can be useful as clues only as
to where to get the documentation. <br>
<br>
I recently found I was dead. So was my sister and my brother-in-law.
We died in New Jersey. Since the only time my sister and I were ever
in New Jersey is when our family drove through it coming from New York
in 1956. Hey! we've been dead for 52 years. It says so on the
internet. It has to be right if it is on the internet! <br>
<br>
I found out that family on both sides married and died in New Jersey.
Since my ancestry is mostly southern American colonial with some
exceptions and those exceptions came in through southern ports, I was
surprised. <br>
<br>
This tree would have been accepted by any genealogy website. You can
make up an entirely fictitious family tree and it will be accepted.
You disagree with something someone has on one of your family members,
the websites will tell you that it is between you and the other
subscriber. <br>
<br>
Now the best for the total amount of records online isn't free but
your public library might have a subscription to it. That is
Ancestry.Com. Still be careful about the information in their family
trees. <br>
<br>
Cyndi'sList.com is a website with links to many other websites, some
free and some not. Many people involved in genealogy find it helpful.
<br>
<br>
Not all records are online but the ones you will find will save you
time and money traveling to courthouses, libraries etc. <br>
<br>
However your first free source is your own family. Get information
from them. Tape your senior members if they will let you. People who
do this state they go back and listen to the tape again after doing
research and hear things they didn't hear the first time around. I am
not saying they won't be confused or wrong on some things. <br>
<br>
Find out if anybody in your family has any old family bibles. Ask to
see and make copies of birth, marriage and death certificates.
Depending on the religious faith, baptismal, first communion,
confirmation and marriage certificates from their church can be
helpful. <br>
<br>
A good free source is a Family History Center at a Latter Day
Saints(Mormon) Church. They have records on people all over the world,
not just Mormons. In Salt Lake City, they have the world's largest
genealogical collection. Their FHCs can order microfilm for you to
view at a nominal fee. <br>
<br>
They won't try to convert you, at least they haven't done so to me or
anyone else that I know.
