does anyone know the best way to trace my family tree?

Hi Lolabell, try www.sheffieldfhs.org.uk. and you can down load a free family history program at www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Good look, Pete.

The Sheffield genealogy site is full of info on how to start your search. Go to.

Good hunting, Cynthia, Canada.

Hi Lolabel, try Genes Reunited,(internet)or download family tree 2005 from a shareware.both are good.Pheidippides

for family tree info, you can beat Ancestry.co.uk - its great, also the birth, marriage and death indexes are free to search !
Ive got loads of tree info from there, you can also search different countries and everywhere in uk

good luck:thumbsup:

This is what I do for a living :)

If you don't have time to do your own thoroughly, or if you have hit a brick wall, get in touch - very reasonable rates :)

After starting your family search and you want to use a good family tree programme, take a look at the Brothers Keeper Family Tree Programme.

There is a free version to download.

I had never heard of it until I was shown it here in New Zealand and I have found it to be very good.

I have tried three other programmes before this one and found different faults with each of them but this one is good.

Hope this info helps you or anyone else who takes a look at it.

Happy Days!

Hi lolabell,
If your family is Sheffield based Sheffield and District Family History Society Website is a good place to ask questions also Sheffield Indexers and Sheffield Records online but Ancestry.co.uk is good for National records as well as Family History Online and findmy past.com. Family Relatives and Genealogist Society.
Hope that's enough to be going on with !!!

Hi Lolobell,

Check out local libraries for beginners' lessons. I've just started teaching a course for a dozen people who have never done family history before and they're very excited about it, as I'm sure you are.

Good luck!

Why thank you Pauly - it was a pleasure :)

Always nice to hear from a satisfied customer :)

There's the LDS online IGI (http://www.familysearch.org) and Cyndi's List (http://www.cyndislist.com) is really helpful too.

Good Luck! :)

Why not post your questions here and see if anyone can help. A lot of us on here have access to censuses etc, and can do look ups for you - I am certainly willing to do free look ups from time to time :)
