Genealogy Services

This page has a few online resources that we recommend. These are online service providers who will provide you with genealogy search assistance either as an organized collection of automated genealogy search services or as individual professionals you can hire to track down family records.

Ancestry.com Free Trial
At Ancestry.com you can start your family tree with their easy to understand, simple to use surname search engine.

Ancestry.com is also an industry leader in providing leads on your ancestors by taking advantage of the latest in science and technology. DNA Ancestry research is process that links you to your genetic cousins. At Ancestry.com they write:

“You might already be familiar with how DNA testing can help solve crimes, confirm the paternity of children, and even determine the identity of ancient mummies.

Footnote.com Free Trial
This is quite a site. With the tagline, “Access millions of origional documents – most never sene on the web before.” they are certainly a force that you would be well served to know.Mr. Grossman over at StylaGala said it best when he wrote:

 

“A huge library of files is incorporated via a partnership with the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, also on the web at http://www.archives.gov. Footnote has a much more user-friendly appeal than this government run website. It will be interesting to see if Footnote can generate a true global set of assets and documents.”

I think they are off to a great start. Worth a visit.
