[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1262828, member: 378"] X3, while I have never traced much of my family history I had two aunts who started to back in the 70's. Then my older sister picked it up and really ran with it a few years ago back into the early 1400's late 1300's........ She used ancestry.com. I pretty sure you can communicate with others on the sight and find distant realitives to compare notes with. I spent years in the Moron (LDS) church when my boys were young, they do have the biggest data base in the world. While they don't or didn't have a web site then they did allow non LDS access to their data bases and requested information in return from the general public to help with their data base. I found out some pretty interesting things through my families research. I have both scum and respectable ancestors in my genes. Also things I was told and believed were wrong, such as I was told as I was growing up I had American Indian blood from a (several greats) grandfather who was a chief of some sort....... Well he was white and the town drunk by several reports. I think overall it was something I'm glad my aunts and sister took the time to research and I'm very lucky to have the info. With that said, as I stated my sister went back into the early 1400's while she truly believes her info to be correct, much of the very early stuff leaves me with the ahhhhhh, really? Well okay if you say so feeling. I would never tell her that with the work she put into it. But I'm confident that the stuff going back to the 1600's is fairly correct and supported by distant family members who made contact with her through ancestry.com. [/QUOTE]
