they do give it for free sometimes ...
but what gets me is say I am looking for someone and they have the same last name ... but you find your name does not mean anything to them or a relative you could not be of ... just have the same last name ... what do you think ... guess wonder how far it goes back too...

thats interesting I would try and meet him
now that sounds strange ... I called someone a few many yrs ago ... asked do you believe we are related ...they said no pretty fast lol that was before the internet ... and I did find my mother way back when ... I was very young then to ... I am surprised I didn't get in trouble for all the long distance calls I made...

Don't need to. A few years ago my parents had paid for a professional inquiry to be done for a gift. Once they finished looking into my family they created a book that goes back hundreds of years and explained who and what they did back then. It was pretty cool to see my ancestors that went from Vikings to North German nobility.

Not sure how much my parents paid exactly for the book but I am sure it is far more detailed then what the website would provide.

Having the same last name is meaningless if one person was adopted.

that is one good reason ... but as I said before those with the same last name are not always related...

Many years ago I too found a person with exactly the same name as mine, in the same city. Only it was on the headstone of a grave in the cemetry!!! Never went back to that part of the cemetry again. (Was visiting the cemetry as it was my dad's anniversary.)
