So I started researching my family tree in fall of '08 and eventually kind of hit a wall with information I could find.
However after watching a few episodes of that new show about the celebrities "Who Do You Think You Are?" I am all intrigued again to start my search. :blink:
I have done pretty well in certain lines of my family, going back to my G-G-G-G-G-grandfather in one line. And have even contacted distant relatives and helped each other with info. However in another, I don't even know the names of my G-G-grandparents. It is really hard because my family hasn't been in this country for many generations. So a lot of the info is in other countries obviously.
But anyway, I was wondering if anyone else does their ancestry, or has seen this show? And if anyone has any good suggestions for sites? I need to get to the library one of these days, I think you can get on Ancestry for free. Or I need to buy the software to get like 1 month free access. I love how on the show, they all just whip out peoples ORIGINAL documents and stuff. I can't even see copies of the census, I have to pay UGH :angry: This is public record and should be free. Well I guess it is if you go to the library...I have to check that out.
I know this is more of a fall/winter project. But now after seeing the show I want to start looking again.
