My step father has done ours. I believe he used ancestry.com. Not sure if it's free or not but it's a very good source

Yeah, a friend uses ancestry.com once a year, and pulled some info for us. I'm bouncing around right now to see what else I can.
My aunt did a 3-4 generation one on my maternal grandad with the Mormons, and liked them. I'm working on my maternal grandmother, and paternal grandparents. Interesting! And even more heavily Scottish then realized. LOL! |

Careful......sure some links to the past are pretty cool but would you really wanna know if great great great grandpa was a crossdressing froot loop? (I got a mental image of a grainy old cavalry picture with Klinger in an evening dress and a tiara standing in formation with the squad)

My current relatives are nuts, anyways, so wouldn't it be better to find out where they got it from?! LOL

Ancestry.com will give you two wks free. You can poke around quite a bit.
It was cool to read the old census records and finding family, I learned very little new information. What was funniest to see were the languages that were spoken my the parents and the country of origin of the parents of the householder. Back in the 1920 and 1930 census I saw a lot of first generation Americans, and a lot of other languages being spoken in the home other than English. |

Not only Ancestry.com but now days you can also find Cemetery Sites actually some of those even list the cause of death and other information as well.
There are several other sites as well you can google. Be surprised what you can find at times. Social Security death sites as well gives you some information have found out the last known address at times. You can find sites you can get the census where they are listed that gives details about certain things. It is fun to do actually was doing mine and found out a distant cousin had already did most of it and one of my aunts had as well and they had posted them on sites. Was pretty kewl to find. |

Sat down with my mom, and we did one, lots of antics in my family. My brother than did one tracing our family back to the Civil war on one side and 2 counties in Ireland for the other. Quite interesting stuff actually. I'd like to go look some distant relatives in Ireland, that'd be fun.
