Hi, what you have to be careful of with research sites is the cost balanced against the benefit you will get...
Best sites will be
familysearch.org
when you go into this one under their search tab if you follow pilot project it will take you to a second site which is also good.
all message boards...all you need is a valid email address and a password
they will be at ancestry.com rootsweb genealogy.com
check out genealogy blogs....
Eastmans is great so is Bob's your uncle
At local libraries most of them have access to ancestry.com at no charge
Family History Centres run by the Mormon Church will also have access to partner company they do research with...again no charge..open to all people the above mention family search.org is their home site..
There are new sites on the web weekly so it is hard to keep up with them all
oopppsss sorry almost forgot and this one is good...Cyndi's list
You should be able to delete the duplicate website. Go in to the manage Trees and it should bring up your trees. Follow directions from there or click help if your lost.
I BELIEVE I HAVE CREATED TWO SITES WITH THE SAME NAME .HOW CAN I FIND OUT,AND CANI MERGE THE TWO SITE???HELP
Hi all, I've just started diving into my search and curious what people think of some of the paid sites. Ancestry.com seems to be the largest. Does it benefit to pay for one of these sites? Or, is it merely a tool to look up general census data and organize your search records? Appreciate any feedback.
Hi,, I've used Ancestry since 2004 and they seem to be the most comprehensive, although recently they changed the way of searching and have cut out the ability to search individual years in the Births, Deaths and Marriages section, which I find very frustrating because the transcribers they use are not always accurate. The good thing about Ancestry is that you can view as many records as you like; you are not paying per view. A lot of other sites are only pay per view sites or are very expensive to subscribe to.
Although I'm using this site, I haven't tried paying for it to use their search facilities, so I don't know how this site would compare. It is very good from the point of view of being able to enter a lot of information like Occupation, Will Proved, Burial, Etc.
What I do is pay Ancestry on a month by month basis because there will be times when you don't feel like researching your family tree. In this case you can cancel your subscription until you want to resume researching again.
Hi, if you need help with the search then you might want to try Genealogyfreelancers.com. Researchers make offers on your request and the bids are private so you can decide who might be right for your particular case. Good luck!!
I think it is worth it. It just depends on what you are looking for, sometimes the info. there is just what someone else has posted and may not be true. You can try Ancestry.com for a month and see if you like it.
Hello all! I'm wondering if anyone has had good luck with websites that promise information? I live in Minnesota and most of my relatives lived in Kansas. I'm looking for birth, death, marriage records. Thanks! Kelly
