Explore your family tree with ancestry.com

If you go to this free site, simply enter factual details about you and your immediate family and you’re on your way to delving deeply into the history of your family. You’ll need to know basic information about your parents, e.g. birth date, place of birth to begin the search engine. Any information you supply is treated confidentially, and only the details you specify are entered into the public tree. Of course, the more information people in your family enter into the public sector of the site, the more complete the family tree will be.
This site prides itself as being “the world’s largest online collection of historical records and family trees”, with over 257 million people, over 144,000 family stories, and 1,000,000 photos in the data base. The site includes links to other data bases, including U.S. birth and death records, census and immigration information, and U.S. military records.
