Haven't Found Family Trees Online?

If no one has traced your family or if the family information has not been placed on the Internet, you won't be able to find family trees online. Unfortunately, a lot of ancestor research has not been placed on the genealogical Web sites.

The next best thing to do is to use census, birth, death and other records to find more on your ancestry.

My Genealogy Search

This site grew out of my efforts to trace my ancestry. I found most of the clues online. As I became fairly good at using the various Web sites, friends and relatives have asked me to give them suggestions. This Web site grew out of those suggestions. Since my background is in software development, I decided to use some simple artificial intelligence (AI) programming. It is the AI programming that provides the questions you will be asked when you try the Online Advice.
