Ancestry Search

Do you know any good websites that will give me a specific ancestry and no trace to find all my ancestors of DVT.

There are over 400,000 free genealogy sites. I have links to the gigantic below, but you will travel tips and a first warning.

If you did not mention a country, we can not tell if you're in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada or Australia. I'm in the USA and my links are for it.

If you're in the U.S.
And most of your ancestors were in the United States,
And you can get to a library or FHC with census access,
AND you are white
Then you can get most of your ancestors who lived in 1850 with 100-300 hours of research. You can get to 1870 if you are black, unfortunately. Many young people stop reading here and pick another hobby.

No website will tell you how your grandparents decorated the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the depression, how Great-Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960s by smuggling herbs. Talk to your parents who live before it's too late.

You will not find living people on genealogy sites. You'll have to go back to people living in 1930 or so talking to parents, watching the obituaries, etc..

Well, not everything you read on the internet is true. You should exercise caution and examine the sources of people. Cross-check and verify.

So much for the warnings. Here is the main link.

This page has links, as well as tips and tricks on how to use the sites for a dozen major free sites. Having a link here in the answer and a dozen links on my personal site gets around two problems. First, Y! A limit us to 10 links in a response. Secondly, if one or more of the links are very popular, I get "We take a break" when I try to display the answer. There is a bug introduced during August 2008 with the "new look".

You will need the advice. Just for example, most beginners either put too much data in the query page RWWC, or they take the ad at the top of descent to the request form. I used to teach a class on Internet Genealogy at the library. I watched the beginners mistakes. The application forms on the sites are not intuitive.

No, not even the one you pay a subscription can give you all your ancestors. For example, I have no information on the family my great grandfather, and I find no trace of him other than the marriage. I was searching for documents on him for about 5 years now, and still have not found even though I have a subscription to ancestry.com, which gives me access to all documents in their possession.
You must start with yourself and work backwards to your parents, grandparents, grandparents, etc. documentation you find the right people. You will find in doing the research that there may be several people with the same name as the ancestor you are looking for. You can not accept any tree you find online that your family tree for that reason. You must have an idea of names, dates and places to know if you found one that could be yours. Not only the direct ancestor, but brothers and sisters and as many children as possible.

If you've done the research at home: asked older relatives what they know-ancestors as far as they go, the names, places in the state, county and city hopefully , dates of birth and death or approximations, spouses, siblings, and children, then check for any old family Bibles, which often list the names and dates of birth and death. See if the older members of the family have saved old letters, photographs, maps funeral, marriage certificates, etc. Check the local records and cemeteries.
