Have you tried searching the Social Security Death Index, Death Certificates, Census, marriage certificates, Military records, newspaper obituaries, voter and selective service registrations. Much of this information may not be found on the internet, but you can visit a Family History Library, or one of the National Archive centers. Most people do not get most of their genealogy info from the internet. It involves visits to places and writing requests for copies of documents. You are looking for an easy answer; there isn't any. Genealogy involves a lot of investigation over a long period of time from many sources. -- Herb Boulder, CO "WebWerx, Inc." <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] > I have been trying to do a family tree and not been getting very far > on > the internet due to the fact that most of the places I try to go to > you > have to pay for and the places that are free dont have very much good > information relative to what I am looking for.
