Thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it and I'm going to follow up as soon as I can get some time.
What websites, in particular? |
Ancestry.com is one of the more popular pay sites.
Another good one is familysearch.org run by the Latter-day Saints and it's free. All you have to do is sign up.
Many states also run their own web sites with census data, property records, divorce records, military records, birth, death and marriage records, etc.
Then there are immigration records complete with ship passenger lists. Not to mention naturalization records. And we can't forget church records of births, baptisms, confirmations and deaths.
There's a
lot of stuff out there. The internet has made things so much easier than it used to be. You can spend many hours researching from the comfort of your chair. And more data becomes available all the time.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions.
