ancestry my account
Can I use someone’s ancestry account?
I have to do a report over someone from my family. And I want to do it over my great grandma and she is really interesting and I want to know more than what my mother tells me.
If you have a friend that will allow you to use their Ancestry account, I suppose you could but there are so many free sites there is really no need to use someone else’s account. Your public libraries will most likely have both Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest free for anyone to use while at the library and with a library card, you should be able to use Heritage Quest at home.
First, start by asking all your living relatives about Family History [not just your mother] and get any documents or pictures they are willing to share with you for your files. You can photocopy or scan these and return them to their owner.
Another free online resource is USGenWeb at http://www.usgenweb.org/ this sprawling all-volunteer site is packed with how-to tips, queries and records for every state and most counties within those states. Special projects usgenweb.org/projects cover subjects such as censuses, tombstones and family group sheets. Do not miss the easy-to-overlook search of the entire site http://searches.rootsweb.ancestry.com/htdig/search.html/. Then, there is Rootsweb at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ a free site hosted by Ancestry.com where you can search for surnames and leave queries on the message boards.
Additionally, there is the LDS/Mormon site, which has many free online records at http://www.familysearch.org/ . In addition to their online records, they have the Family History Centers where you can go to get help with research and look at microfilm and microfiche and they only charge if they have to order something for you or you need photocopies. Finally, if you need software to organize your genealogy data you can download their Personal Ancestral File [PAF] free at http://www.familysearch.org/ .
Also, be sure to check each state that you need information from as many have their own projects, for example, the state of Missouri has a great website that has many free source documents online at http://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh/ and South Carolina has many free wills and other court documents at http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/search.aspx
And, do not forget to check Cyndi’s List at http://www.cyndislist.com/ and ProGenealogist top 50 genealogist websites at http://www.progenealogists.com/top50genealogy2009.htm
both of these sites have many links for both free and fee based sites but I believe most of the fee based ones are marked with a $.
I am certain I could list many more websites but this list is rather comprehensive while being easy on the wallet, which is something everyone can appreciate these days.
YouTube suspended me and censored every comment I ever left without warning or e-mail
