Title: New to Geneology
Post by: Ken A on Friday 24 February 06 14:30 GMT (UK)
My wife and I are wanting to create a Family Tree on both sides of the family.
I have had a look at sites such as ANCESTRY but none of these are free, I am willing to pay once we have the basics. Could anyone advise us of suitable sites to start.

Hello Ken & Margaret :) :) :)

Where to start ??? That's a biggy. It really depends on how much you know about your families all ready. The beginners list on this site will give you lots of help. Also, there is a really good book by Paul Herber.

I  think  it  will  depend  on  where  your  looking  but  a  good  source  for  free  is  the  LDS's  web try  here http://www.familysearch.org

also  if  you  post  their names  maybe  someone  is  searching  the  same  line  and  will  help  .I  found  also  Genes Reunited    very  helpful  but  it  also  requires  payment

Tell us what info you already know and what certificates you have as your source.

If possible - include names, dates and counties. :)

We're all eager to help.

Oh and how did you become interested?
Was it because of the Who do you think you are TV series??
