ancestry.com

I decided to join ancestry.com yesterday and within a few minutes of searching I was able to find a picture of my great great grandfather from Denmark! I can't believe it.

Lucky. I can't find any of my fam.

Quoting sταrry skies:" Lucky. I can't find any of my fam."

I already had a lot of information and names on my family dating back to the 1800s so it was pretty easy for me. I've hit a wall though before like 1860.

I wish I could find stuff like that. I don't know pretty much anything about my family history. My mom and I sat down one time and tried and kept finding nothing, so I canceled the subscription.

My moms family is from Holland. Not too hard to find things for her side but my dads side the last name has so many spellings. And my married name is Davis so theres no easy way to tell whos related with a name that common! Lol

I took a genealogy class at the local CC and they gave me a whole bunch of tips and websites to use so that's how I got my info then I regurgitated it into ancestry.com

and also since coming to America both sides of my family have only lived in NYC so it makes it easier

Quoting empire state of mind:" I took a genealogy class at the local CC and they gave me a whole bunch of tips and websites to use so that's how I got my info then I regurgitated it into ancestry.com"

I might have to look into that!
