where could you go to find information about your genealogy?

Clifford Gombos: Go to familysearch.orgThe Mormon church's website. As part of their religion they trace their ancestory, but just because you're not Mormon, don't let that stop you. They compile info on millions of surnames.Also rootsweb.com is another good one. Stay away fromAncestry. com or anything that sounds like it.Rip off big time. The two I mentioned-you don't have to pay for.Good luck!...Show more

David Kuper: Mine? Lots more I could do in ID WA NY NJ VT MI ... Or did you mean yours?

Lawanna Livsey: There is no single source or internet site where you can go an find information about your genealogy--at least not without doing some groundwork.Begin with yourself.Who is your father? mother? (maiden names?)Who are your grandparents? great-grandparents? great-great grandparents? etc.?Birth dates? Marriage dates? Death dates?As far back as you can go just based on your own knowledge.It helps to write things down. There is a chart that family researchers u! se called a pedigree chart. Fill out a pedigree chart--again as much as you can based on your own knowledge.Once you do this, how do you start finding out what you do not already know? Unfortunately, there is no single answer to this. It all depends on the details of what you know.Some key questions at every step: Where and When? For example: Where were your grand-parents married? When? The specific answers to these types of questions will determine where the best place to go for further information.If you can identify (great?) grandparents who were married in the United States prior to 1930, you can look them up in the Federal Census.If you know the state and county in which they were married, sometimes (not always) the marriage record will identify the parents of the bride and groom.Again everything depends on the specifics of your individual ancestors and the quality of record keeping in the time and place where they lived....Show more

Dorris Homola: http://www.an! cestry.com/home/mbDefault.aspxone of the best sites out there ! goodluck!

Samatha Nicar: Don't take any of the information on any family trees on websites as fact. The information should be used as clues. Amateurs, like me and you, if you are going to start genealogy, put their information in. Even if you see the same info over and over submitted by different people. There is a lot of copying going on. They can be very helpful but you should do your own checking.
