cinderellagirl asked: I would like to do a family genealogy, unfortunately my present financial situation does not allow me to afford websites that charge monthly fees to locate your family history. Are there any reliable Free websites out there?

Twoicys asked: I have four cardboard boxes. Two of them with documents and pictures. They have been under my mothers bed for umteen years and I want to store them elsewhere. They have some organization to them, but I want to take a few years and make copies, take measures to preserve some things etc.
Materials are:
-paper
-airmail paper
-pictures
-bibles
-leather gloves
-old lace
-a silver fox stoll
-a tiny leather bound book with well wishes written with a
fountain pen; pages very frail.
- my grandmothers memorabilia from teaching kindergarden. cards, pictures, craft items, several handkerchiefs given to her by her students.
any advice on preserving these would be great.
Thank you
That is a good idea Ted. Thanks

gray wolf asked: I never done a genealogy search before. I am trying to do it on my own, but don’t know how or where to start. Are there any books that can help me understand how to searh information for a family tree?
I have tried rootsweb. But I found no useful information. Maybe I am doing it wrong.
To Emeraldisle:
I never noticed that mistake before. Thank you for pionting it out.

Davian C asked: I am working on a group project in my online class. Our group had to create a fictitious company with the purpose of organizing family reunions. I have been given the title of head of the genealogy research department in our fake company. My current task is to identify potential risks associated with conducting genealogy research. In other words, if this were a real research project, I would be hired by a family to conduct this research. So what are the types of problems that may arise when beginning my genealogy research for that particular family???

Jay-Blue Afterglow asked: I wanna know some websites for genealogy that are free. They have to be good websites. And it has to give good information on my ancestors (such as eye color, hair color, i.e.).
I would be very grateful.

pezkandydoll asked: I would like to start doing genealogy again. I’ve used one or two programs but they didnt really bring the result I was after…. so whats your answer?
I really need a program that searches for you and pulls up tons of records thoroughly, because my sources are VERY limited!

GrannyToad asked: Keep in mind that “deep ancestry” and the Genographic Project have nothing whatever to do with genealogy. That is so far back it’s about hunter-gatherers armed with rocks roaming the planet, displacing one another geographically whether by force or sometimes a more attractive culture, and exchanging genes — but not keeping genealogically useful records, only at best the fossil record.
Off Topic — hey it’s not me you’re disagreeing with it is governments, the genealogy community and genealogy professionals. Have you not noticed that censuses aren’t available for most living persons and that living persons are not presented on reputable online gedcoms? It is unethical and now you know.
Back to our regular scheduled program.
