Finding our relatives used to mean trips to the library, the county courthouse or other information centers to locate public records, or require written applications to state and national archives for immigration papers and passenger lists.
Now, the Internet gives us free access to web sites where you can find your roots online by viewing digital documents such as deeds, wills, abstracts, mortgage and divorce proceedings, school and orphanage rolls, local histories and documentation from church records.
Computers allow you to join projects, views headstones in cemeteries in another state, or read an old newspaper obituary then copy your surnames and dates into pedigree software to record your lineage.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, we invite you to use our resources to discover your family heritage!
