Find Your Family History

Does any body know of a free Family Tree program that helps you find your families history.?

there are websites that are free like rootsweb.com and familysearch.org. You need to be really careful about what you find online as the research is only as good as the researcher. Use documents to back up your research. As far as programs, I use family treemaker. It will bring up people who have submitted to them but you have to pay for the information and again you have to prove that the info is correct. you can go to the library and use heritagequest and ancestry for free.
You can do alot online but the main thing is to use birth, death and marriage certificates, cemetery records, etc. They are more reliable. However I have found mistakes on them too. Those records only go back so far and then you’re on your own. Family Bibles are a great lead. Just remember way back when folks didn’t know how to read or write so they had someone else do it so there is no guarantee that the Bibles are right.
Invest in a book called unpuzzling your past. It’s under $20 and it will take you step by step. I bought it years ago when I first started out and recently replaced it because I had used it so much when I got stumped that it fell apart. Mrs Croom has been doing genealogy for more years then I can tell you and she also writes for the rootsweb newsletter. She will give you things you would never think of to look for.
I hope this helps you.
Happy Hunting.

How to Find the Path to Your Destiny $22.99 “Dana Marie Rivas was born in Washington, D.C. on March 19th, 1978 and grew up in Fort Washington, MD. She graduated from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in May 2000. She is the middle child in a family of three girls.The inspiration for this book came one day while I was on my lunch break at work, chatting with an old friend. It seemed she and I both – and another friend of hers were all going through a mid-life crisis at only 26 years of age. We didn’t feel the satisfaction and purpose we thought we were supposed to feel at this point… having “made it” by the worlds standards. We all wanted to quit and run away to go live and volunteer in a remote village somewhere on the other side of the world…thinking that maybe this would give us the satisfaction and sense of purpose and passion we were missing. After analyzing this for some time, I realized that we felt let down and bamboozled by lies and false promises that main stream society and our families pass on to us growing up unknowingly. The false promise that if we study hard and get prestigious jobs or make allot of money that this is what leads to happiness and a feeling of success and personal fulfillment in life. I realized that this isn’t true and I discovered what was missing. I wrote this book to help others identify the lies and false promises that they are/may have fallen for, and to lead others to their truth through journal exercises.Contact the author to share your comments: danamarierivas@gmail.com”
