I am attending college this year and found out there are scholarships available for students that have Native Americans in their families. Does any one have any ideas or knowledge on how to trace their ancestry in this area?
I am interested in tracing my roots and finding out if I have relatives in other countries. However, I wondered if there was an inexpensive (FREE) way of doing what with all of the wonders of the Internet.
I was told that Mormon churches in most cities will let you do your genealogy.
Do they charge anything?
Do they have the name of everyone who was born in the USA? How do I go about such research for my family?
My mother maiden name is Smith. Are there too many Smiths?
How can I find out where the nearest place to me is?
And if I do go, will they try to “convert” me?
Thank you.
