Ancestry
 

I recently signed up for this site:

http://www.ancestry.com

I had to look up some information for my own family and It's actually a pretty cool site. Has anyone ever used this site or something like it to find out more about their families past?

I have the account for another 10 days before it starts costing me money so if anyone wants anything looked up feel free to PM me or post it up here if they don't want the privacy. I'd look some stuff up periodicly as I have time.

My mom did a whole family tree about 10 years ago when she went back to school, a site like that would have really been useful! She had to do all her research through the library (oh no, not the library!).

What I learned: My great grandparents on my Mom's side emigrated from Poland and on my Dad's side an ex-US President is my great great...great Grandpa (hint: my middle name is a clue to who).

Re: Ancestry
 

WTF is your middle name? LOL

Re: Ancestry
 

I would like to see some stuff on my side. Can you show me that over the weekend?

Re: Ancestry
 

Hell, I'd ask you to look some stuff up for me too, but I know that everyone you'd find is already hangin up in a tree somewhere :x

Re: Ancestry

Re: Ancestry
 

Look me up! What info you need?

Re: Ancestry
 

Sweet. My mom and grandma did a family tree like 8 years go. I think they traced our roots way the hell back to some Norweign explorer in like 800 AD or something crazy like that. I dont remember his name though or when he died, and he wasnt a famous explorer (I dont think) but it was still pretty interesting.

Re: Ancestry
 

B, basicaly to find people you need their name and locations to start. Married names doesn't help the best. Jana and I are probably gonna sign up for the full serivce anyway as we both want to track more, and I'm curious about my German side as well.

Re: Ancestry
 

There's no genealogy history of your families back around home? I don't know Jana's family but I would think that there is a history for the Dahlen name so you'd have that side covered.

I don't need this ancestry mumbo jumbo. It's just to try and link yourself to someone prominant in history. A sense of accomplishment without accomplishing anything at all. My last name is German. That's all I need/care to know.

Re: Ancestry
 

No, it's to see where your roots came from. It was cool to find out when my family came to the US and where they came from.
