Researching Your Family History Online

The book I read to research this post was Researching Your Family History Online for Dummies by Nick Barrett et al which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. When you are researching your family tree the first thing you should do is interview each member of your family & find out what they know about your family history, ideally record the interviews on an mp3 player with a record feature, they are quite cheap. In this phase you are particularly looking for family addresses & names particularly surnames & how they have changed. Then you need to visit a genealogy site, some are free incidently, if your family was english try ancestry.co.uk which has a free trial if your family was more international try ancestry.com which has many foreign databases although you need to pay for that. A free site that is useful for genealogy is genesreunited.com . A good idea is to google the terms parish records & the county the person lived in. When you have researched a family history & family tree why not do a family web site which your family can visit. Ideally because your family web site won't be a commercial enterprise you should look at free hosting or maybe have a blog site.
