I was able to access census records and found a starting point for my own searching. I subscribe to Ancestry now. Try also, LivingLegacy.com. My epiphany happened when I found my gr-gr grandfather and I was able to trace back. Good luck!!! Michelle

Most of the Mormon Family History Centers have subscriptions to the census images, which you can use for free. (Even if you aren't a Mormon.) Cyndi's list has a category for most European countries.

If your family came to the United States during the immigration boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s, you have some great options. If your family came through Ellis Island, you can go on and search virtually thousands upon thousands of names of people who passed its gates. There you can also find pictures of the ships they were on, and view the actual ship manifests! And best of all, it's completely free! You can also use the internet to your advantage in another way. You can post on a genealogy website (try to find one that caters to people from the part of the world from which your ancestors came) asking for help, sort of like you did here. I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck!! Ruth
