21 Answers For free...Why is it so much to ask to know where you came from? Your parents most likely don't know your WHOLE genalogical past....Why do sites charge for this? Is there a free site? Is there some other way that I can find where I came from?  |

| Are you wanting to find the names of relatives on both your father and your mom's sides of your family? Have you checked with any other relatives to see if they know if anyone outside of your immediate family has done any research about your relatives? You know, that all of that researching can take you to many different places and can take up an enormous amount of time. My families history on my father's side of the family is so well researched that about the only things left to uncover is the "dirt." My mother's side is not so well researched. | ||||

| Have you ever tried putting your last name in a Google search followed by the words family tree? It could be that somebody out there has done some research and you just don't know about it. The names you know of people who are ancestors of yours just might be on some kind of list that you don't know about. You might even be on a list somewhere in someone's family tree. | ||||

| Try Rootsweb.com It's pretty good. I started out with my dad's name and a guess on his birth...now I've gotten so far into it I don't know where to stop. On rootsweb I found my 3rd cousin, who gave me loads of info. Oh, another one.....findagrave.com....it lets you search cemeteries for names and also sometimes has an email of the person that posted the grave or cemetery. Ancestry.com has a deal going on right now for 2 weeks free, then you just cancel before then..it lets you look up birth/death records and SS records and census records. Hope this is helpful.....good luck | ||||
