I think most of us want to search out where our family came from and we would like to do it preferably, for free.
You can see those sites listed on my website as a wealth of information about where to go to search out and grow your own family tree.
Free family resources is what most people are looking for since your most valuable commodity - time - is already being used for this hobby or passion.
These wonderful resourceful websites offer information such as The Great Migration of immigrants to New England in the early 1600s, and the full text of New England Historical and Genealogical Register which offers thousands of genealogies from the 1847 forward.
Some offer archives from every state.
One of these sites has a goal to transcribe all United States census records from 1790 to 1930 and upload these with photo images to the web.
One other site has a goal of uploading gravestone inscriptions across the country to the internet.
How marvelous that would be.
One public archives offers naturalization and probate records including orphans-court cases, slave records and Civil War recordsOne Florida site offers a database of 14,000 pension applications given to veterans and widows beginning in 1885.
Are you drooling yet?Some sites offer a hard copy for a small fee so that you may file this document at home in your personal family history search file.
