fobar Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Has anybody looked into their family tree or doing so? My mum would like to start and we have never done so before and there seems a million different sites asking for a fee to find information that may or may not be accurate. She wants to find out about her dads side of the family, but we only have a date of death. no other information at all If anybody has any advise or knows of any free or cheap searches please leave a comment. also, how do you go about finding people from the past on Census or Electoral registers. oh, UK by the way if that makes any difference any help much appreciated.

TheOvereem Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bump! I've always been interested in this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden512 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Website wise the one I would trust us ancestory.com. However you do pay for that one and Idk how much it is. I did a free trial awhile back and its pretty cool. Lots of records and shiz. Just fill in as much of your family tree as you can and when they find something a thing will pop up telling you.

StompGrind Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 My aunt on moms side did this years ago before there were websites. She went all the way to Washington DC and brought back copies of pages and pages of documents from the archives there. She traced it all the way back to the 1500's.

WalkLikeAWarrior707 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I have always wanted to do this also but never knew a good site that does it for free. I never knew anybody from my dad's side of the family aside from his mom so I have always been interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
