"You might already be familiar with how DNA testing can help solve crimes, confirm the paternity of children, and even determine the identity of ancient mummies. Now DNA can also help you with your genealogical research. It's a simple and painless process to gather your DNA sample and within a few weeks have results that you can compare with the ever-expanding DNA Ancestry database to find potential genetic cousins."

Footnote.com Free Trial This is quite a site. With the tagline, "Access millions of origional documents - most never sene on the web before." they are certainly a force that you would be well served to know.Mr. Grossman over at StylaGala said it best when he wrote:

 

"A huge library of files is incorporated via a partnership with the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, also on the web at http://www.archives.gov. Footnote has a much more user-friendly appeal than this government run website. It will be interesting to see if Footnote can generate a true global set of assets and documents."

I think they are off to a great start. Worth a visit.

After What Seemed To Be An Endless

4 Month Struggle, I Finally Learned

How To Research My Family Tree

If you're thinking about signing up with Ancestry.com or MyHeritage I'm extremely relieved that you've found my page.

Not only will my story surprise you, it'll almost certainly save you money, time, as well as a lot of frustration and heartache.

I will tell you exactly why over a 4 month period I tried but was forced to give up on Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and other "Pay to Play" genealogy websites... and how I finally managed to find my ancestors and complete a wonderful family tree.

Dear Friend,

My name is Chris Clegg and like so many people who have started to reach a certain level of maturity and age, I spent months desperately trying to figure out how to research my ancestors and make a family tree.

I had never done any serious genealogy research online or offline but needed to have something organized that I could gift to my children.

I Started With Ancestry.com

It seemed to be the most popular place to go to learn how to make a family tree. They were expensive, too expensive, and when I signed up and started to type in my family name, people came up in the search results that I knew were not my ancestors. Money wasted.

I Then Turned To MyHeritage.com

They also cost money but not as expensive.  However, I had the same problem.  I would put in the names I knew and MyHeritage.com would either ask me to enter information I didn't have or suggest people I really didn't think where my ancestors.

I realized then and there that I'd have to learn how to research my family tree on my own.

That is exactly what I did.

I bought books, read guides, spent countless hours online and in the library to learn how to make and properly research a family tree.

I wrote it all down so I could share it with others. Let me tell you about it.

"The Step-By-Step Genealogy Guide." It covers everything you need to know about getting started with genealogy research... Just a few minutes from now you could be reading about your grandparents, great-grandparents, even great-great-grandparents regardless of where they lived.

If you truly want to master the art of how to make a family tree,
in no time at all... then this is going to be the most
exciting message you ever read.

Could this happen to you? Yes, it could!

Imagine being able to start your family tree research today, before you go to bed tonight. You can definitely do that.

Imagine knowing of exactly what you needed to do. (Some genealogists can easily find several ancestor in one night. Not bad for just one night, huh?)

I've written an easy to understand, clear, step-by-step guide that I highly suggest you use to to get started with your genealogy research projects. I absolutely guarantee that you'll complete at family tree and have a thorough understanding of how genealogy research works.

Six chapters of clear instructions on exactly how to search for your ancestors (online and off):

Imagine The Thrill You'll Feel When They See Their Family Tree ...

From: Chris Clegg, 9:59 PM

Hello Friend,

It was about this time of night a few years back that I almost quit.

I had been interested in genealogy for some time. I had some notes but things were not as in order as they could have been and I knew it was time to get my research to date (which, admittedly was minimal) down in a proper family tree format.

I hunted around online for the perfect blank family tree template (I've since made my own). Having found what I thought was the right one, I went to fill in my first family tree.

That's when I realized I didn't have a clue what I was doing!

• What was all this business about "Chart Numbers?"

• There was space for Birth, Married, and Death but what did these mean? Did I write "yes" or "no"? Dates? Locations?

• What did the numbers mean next to each entry and what did I do when I reached the sixth generation? Surely family trees extended beyond the sixth generation . . .

As I said, I was fed up.

This was all taking too much time. Time I didn't have in the first place.

But I didn't quit. I stuck it out and eventually found the answer to all of these questions. It was a lot of hard work and I made a lot of mistakes. (Mistakes you don't have to repeat!)

This six-generation blank family tree chart and these clear instructions alone
provide in minutes what took me years to fully understand.

You'll Receive ...

1. Four Professional Blank Family Tree Charts

A Six-Generation Blank Family Tree Chart
A perfectly designed, professional six-generation family tree chart that is a great place to start for the first time genealogist. You'll get your project going within minutes of downloading this beautiful chart. The chart has the following key qualities:

• Clear Date Notation
  It’s contains ample space to notate the three key dates including birth, marriage, and death. Understanding these dates and how to include them will make a lot of confusion go away

• Location References
  Each key date is accompanied by a reference for location up through the 5th generation

• Continuation Numbering (allowing for an endless number of generations)
  Each sixth generation notation contains space to enter a “continuation number” that can be carried over onto subsequent charts providing ample opportunity to document your ancestors back 12, 18, and even 24 generations and more

A Step-Family Blank Family Tree Chart
This template is ideal for the genealogist who wants to embrace all aspects of their family tree. We're sure you'll find there is nothing else like it online. You'll find a perfect symmetry between biological and step-family lineages and clearly understand how to complete one family chart that includes both. The chart has the following key qualities:

• Step-Father and Step-Mother Linage Lines
  We've clearly defined which areas are used to record key dates and information about any form of extended family and specifically how to blend biological and step-families into a single family tree chart.

• Clear Date Notation, Location References, and Continuation Numbering
  Like the more traditional six-generation family tree template, we've crafted this Step-Family Tree to adhere to the same standards of genealogy documentation with clear date notation for birth, marriage, and death records and a seamless continuation numbering system that will allow you to trace your step-family back dozens of generations.

An Adoptive Blank Family Tree Chart
Blended families come in all forms and have so for quite a while. You'll find your family history has likely had a number of formal (and informal) adoptions. If you were adopted, it can be very confusing how to build a family tree. If you come across an adopted family member a few generations back, this can also make the tree confusing. This chart will clear away these confusions:

• Blending of Adoptive and Biological Family Linage Lines
  This Adoptive Blank Family Tree Chart clearly defines exactly how biological and adoptive family trees merge into a single tree. Once the tree is reviewed, it is obvious exactly how you record a biological mother and father, an adoptive mother and father, and the decedents of each on a single family tree chart.

• Clear Date Notation, Location References, and Continuation Numbering
  Here too, we've adopted all of the traditional family tree template standards with clear date notation for birth, marriage, and death records and a seamless continuation numbering system that will allow you to trace your adoptive and biological family back dozens of generations on a single family tree chart.

A Kid's Blank Family Tree Chart
Younger beginner genealogists don't always need a chart that puts attention to the dates around birth, death, and marriage. Sometimes the perfect place to start for these younger researchers is a simple chart that explains who's dad's dad goes where. We've designed this Kids Family Tree Chart for just this type of project with the 3 to 8 year old in mind. (Some adult beginners find this a great starting point as well.) It includes:

• Clear Notation For Who Goes Where
  By using labels such as, "My Mom," "My Dad's Dad," or "My Mom's Dad's Dad" along with more traditional labels such as "Mom," "Grandfather," and "Great-Grandfather" it helps the younger family tree builder understand who goes where in the words they know and understand.

• Generation Labeling
  An important part of teaching younger genealogists is sharing the idea of "generations". This Kid's Blank Family Tree Template clearly defines 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations so they can visually see the impact of this important lesson.

• No Mention of Death, Birth, or Marriage
  There are two reasons why these otherwise vital notations are not included on our Kid's Family Tree chart. First - we want to make sure the chart is clear. The chart asks for just the names of ancestors. Second - depending on the age of the researcher (especially our 3 and 4 year olds) it is not always appropriate to discuss death, birth, and marriage. These are concepts that can certainly be included in the chart but are not required.

These blank family tree templates are a core tool in any genealogists tool belt. But they're useless if you don't know how to fill them out properly.

That is why we developed a detailed set of step-by-step instructions on exactly how to complete a blank family tree chart.

2. Chart Guide - How to Complete a Family Tree Chart (Comprehensive Step-by-Step Instructions)

This detailed guide contains instructions on all aspects of the family tree chart telling you exactly how to enter data for each generation. With this guide you'll have your family tree filled out in minutes:

• How to Master the Six Generation Family Tree Chart
  Learn the different sections of a family tree chart with clear color pictures and plain English explanations.

• Step-by-Step: Generations One Through Three
  Get started right away with exactly who goes in as the first generation, where your children should go, and how to get the first three generations completed immediately.

• Step-by-Step: Generations Four Through Six
  As you reach further back into your ancestry, learn the key pieces of information to put on your tree for your forth, fifth, and sixth generations.

• Seven Generations and Beyond
  Learn the simple yet incredibly vital notation techniques of professional genealogists which allows you to use this one template to complete a family tree going back 50 generations with thousands of direct ancestors. You don't want to miss this!

3. Five Family Tree Research Tracking Forms

These five forms perfectly complete this blank family tree template collection. Print multiple copies of each form and bind them in a 3-ring binder along with your family tree chart templates and you have the perfect researcher's genealogy companion. Each form is designed to provide ample note-taking space and assure you never find yourself checking the same record twice.

Ancestor Major Milestones Form
Use this form to catalogue the key milestones of a particular ancestor. Milestones might include birth of children, illness, military service, marriage, migrations, jobs, major family events, court dates, deaths, or any other significant events.

• Clearly Defines What to Record
  This form allows you to organize the events in the life of an ancestor by providing amble space for the date, ancestor age, event, location, notes, and your reference or source.

• Continuation Number
  If this form isn't enough space, the continuation numbering system at the bottom of the form allows you to extend your documentation of key milestone findings no matter how many you uncover.

U.S. Military Research Tracking Form
You'll find that many if not most of your male ancestor's served in the U.S. Military. Military records are a great source of vital information and clues about who your ancestor's were. This tracking form is designed to walk you through all major U.S. combat record sources to find those honorable service men (and women) in your history.

• Thirteen Wars from The Colonial Wars to WWII
  This U.S. Military Research Tracking form provides the dates in clear columns for 13 U.S. conflicts an encourages you to list the ancestor or service member you're researching in one column and then check off the box as you check the archives for each of the major U.S. military engagements.

• Continuation Number
  By using our continuation numbering system on this form as well, you're able to group your military research tracking forms by family member, surname, or any other organizational system you choose to use.

Cemetery Visit Tracking Form
There are few places where it is easier to find details about past generations than the right cemetery. Use this form to both plan your cemetery visit as well as keep track of exactly where you visited and what you found. Some people have been known to use the back of this form to sketch a map of the cemetery making it the perfect record of your visit.

• Sketch or Transcribe the Tombstone Inscription
  With ample space for transcription, you can sketch the tombstone shape and write out exactly what was on the tombstone. Writing out exactly what you see can lead to clues later on that you didn't think of when you were at the cemetery that day.

• Document Key Headstone, Footstone, and General Description
  Side by side with the transcription and/ or sketch of the tombstone itself, this tracking form allows you to write specific details about the headstone, footstone, or any other descriptive information that will fully archive your visit.

Marriage Index Research Tracking Form
When researching information on a particular surname within a particular state, record the pertinent marriage index information on this form. You'll find that particular surnames are more common than others within different state records. This form will help you keep this organized and make sure you get the most out of your state-house visit.

• Column Record Keeping System Defines Key Research Objectives
  This form uses a free-flowing column record keeping system that not only allows for a lot of information to be kept on a single form (reducing the paper involved) but also clearly outlines what information you should be looking for by referencing the column headers.

• Surname Level Reference/ Notes
  As your researching the marriage record details of a particular surname you'll come across ideas or hints that might not be relevant to the particular ancestor you're looking for now but will be important when researching on the surname (last name) later. This form provides for ample space to record surname level notes and ideas.

U.S. Census Research Tracking Form
You'll likely find that there are 15 census periods to be aware of and research when searching for your U.S. ancestors. This form is designed to keep these 15 periods and your research of them straight.

• Covers U.S. Census from 1790 to 1930
  While the census is completed every 10 years (as mandated by the U.S. Congress), you'll most likely have to concern yourself with just 15. Starting at the 1790 census and finishing with 1930, this form is used to track which records have been searched by ancestor or surname so you save time and energy by avoiding duplicate efforts.

• Surname/ Ancestor Tracking with Continuation
  Whether your focused on a surname or particular ancestor, this U.S. Census Research Tracking form will provide you with equal space for both while also using the continuation tracking system to help keep your records organized no matter how big your family is.

From: Chris Clegg, 9:59 PM

Hello Friend,

It was about this time of night a few years back that I almost quit.

I had been interested in genealogy for some time.  I had some notes but things were not as in order as they could have been and I knew it was time to get my research to date (which, admittedly was minimal) down in a proper family tree format.

I hunted around online for the perfect blank family tree template (I've since made my own).  Having found what I thought was the right one, I went to fill in my first family tree.

That's when I realized I didn't have a clue what I was doing!

• What was all this business about "Chart Numbers?"
  

• There was space for Birth, Married, and Death but what did these means?  Did I write "yes" or "no"?  Dates?  Locations?
  

• What did then numbers mean next to each entry and what did I do when I reached the sixth generation?  Surely family trees extended beyond the sixth generation.

As I said, I was fed up.

This was all taking too much time.  Time I didn't have in the first place.

But I didn't quit.  I stuck it out and eventually found the answer to all of these questions.  It was a lot of work and I made a lot of mistakes.

My hope is that these clear instructions
will get you in minutes what took me weeks to fully understand.

If for any reason this is not what you wanted, please simply let me know and I'll refund your purchase.

These instructions will be yours to keep even if you do ask for a refund.

For People Who Just Want to Find Their Ancestors

Why My Story Will Surprise You...

And How After What Seemed To Be An Endless

4 Month Struggle, I Finally Learned How to

Research My Family Tree

If you're thinking about signing up with Ancestry.com or MyHeritage I'm extremely relieved that you've found my page.

Not only will my story surprise you, it'll almost certainly save you money, time, as well as a lot of frustration and heartache.

I will tell you exactly why over a 4 month period I tried but was forced to give up on Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and other "Pay to Play" genealogy websites... and how I finally managed to find my ancestors and complete a wonderful family tree.

Updated: February 3, 2009

From: Chris Clegg, 6:15 AM

Dear Friend,

My name is Chris Clegg and like so many people who have started to reach a certain level of maturity and age, I spent months desperately trying to figure out how to research my ancestors and make a family tree.

I had never done any serious genealogy research online or offline but needed to have something organized that I could gift to my children.

I Started With Ancestry.com

It seemed to be the most popular place to go to learn how to make a family tree. They were expensive, too expensive, and when I signed up and started to type in my family name, people came up in the search results that I knew were not my ancestors. Money wasted.

I Then Turned To MyHeritage.com

They also cost money but not as expensive. However, I had the same problem. I would put in the names I knew and MyHeritage.com would either ask me to enter information I didn't have or suggest people I really didn't think where my ancestors.

I realized then and there that I'd have to learn how to research my family tree on my own.

That is exactly what I did.

I bought books, read guides, spent countless hours online and in the library to learn how to make and properly research a family tree.

I wrote it all down so I could share it with others. Let me tell you about it.

"The Step-By-Step Genealogy Guide." It covers everything you need to know about getting started with genealogy research... Just a few minutes from now you could be reading about your grandparents, great-grandparents, even great-great-grandparents regardless of where they lived.

If you truly want to master the art of how to make a family tree,

I've written an easy to understand, clear, step-by-step guide that I highly suggest you use to to get started with your genealogy research projects. I absolutely guarantee that you'll complete at family tree and have a thorough understanding of how genealogy research works.

With This Blank Family Tree Template

And Step-by-Step Instructions

Imagine The Thrill You'll Feel
When They See Their Family Tree ...

From: Chris Clegg, 9:59 PM

Hello Friend,

It was about this time of night a few years back that I almost quit.

I had been interested in genealogy for some time. I had some notes but things were not as in order as they could have been and I knew it was time to get my research to date (which, admittedly was minimal) down in a proper family tree format.

I hunted around online for the perfect blank family tree template (I've since made my own). Having found what I thought was the right one, I went to fill in my first family tree.

That's when I realized I didn't have a clue what I was doing!

• What was all this business about "Chart Numbers?"
  

• There was space for Birth, Married, and Death but what did these mean? Did I write "yes" or "no"? Dates? Locations?
  

• What did the numbers mean next to each entry and what did I do when I reached the sixth generation? Surely family trees extended beyond the sixth generation . . .
  

As I said, I was fed up.

This was all taking too much time. Time I didn't have in the first place.

But I didn't quit. I stuck it out and eventually found the answer to all of these questions. It was a lot of hard work and I made a lot of mistakes.  (Mistakes you don't have to repeat!)

This six-generation blank family tree chart and these clear instructions
will get you in minutes what took me years to fully understand.

You'll Receive ...

1. A Professional Blank Family Tree Chart

• Location References
  Each key date is accompanied by a reference for location up through the 5th generation

• Continuation Numbering (allowing for an endless number of generations)
  Each sixth generation notation contains space to enter a “continuation number” that can be carried over onto subsequent charts providing ample opportunity to document your ancestors back 12, 18, and even 24 generations and more
  

This blank family tree chart is a core tool in any genealogists tool belt.  But it is useless if you don't know how to fill it out properly.

Thank you, yes I was able to down load it, now I just need to figure out how to use it. It is for my Sons history project.

Hi there- Yes, the family tree was helpful. It was for my daughter's class project and she enjoyed learning about the "Family Tree". Thank you for your assistance. >> Robin A.

It was fine, thank you. My son needed to look at some ideas for a class project, so we were studying lots of different options. >> Cathy G.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING. IT DOWNLOADED OKAY. to be honest I have done any thing with it yet but it did come through. My gradfather came from Scotland and I did some research using the Scotish census information. Once again Thank you for the tree. >> Gordon R.

Hello Chis, Your download is simplicity at its best, many thanks, it is now in use and helping to log all my recent searches into the past. Keep up the good work. Kind regards. >> Cyril F.

Hi Chris No troubles thanks. It downloaded perfectly. Regards, >> Joan H.

Everything went great. I only had a problem placing the names exactly where they were suppose to go, and as I started getting closer to my 5th generation, I could put the last names in. Other than that everything was fine. I was trying to type all the names in on my computer. I typed as much as I could and then wrote the rest in. Thanks

Chris: Thank you for your help. We found out that my boyfriends mother and father's family tree has already been worked on, so we will be getting those copies at the end of the month and continuing further with the Native American ancestry. >> Charanne G.

I had no problem getting the template. Now I'm trying to fill in the blanks Thank you >> Michelle B.

Hi Chris, Yes I was able to download the blank family tree template just fine. I have only recently started researching my family’s history. I have found it tough going on some of my ancestors.

A fire in a courthouse in Arkansas has created a roadblock. I am still plowing ahead. I plan to visit a great aunt sometime in the near future to see if she can remember anything to help in my search. All this research is very time consuming.

I love doing it though. I don’t think my kids like it though (I have young ones still at home). Thank you for your help. >> Husker B.

worked great - thx >> John L.

Many thanks for the download of your excellent template. I shall be using it in the near future, since I have only just began to order all my known ancestors onto index cards. My problem is that I and anyone born before me have been born abroad and not to British Citizens.

Some of the sources have been destroyed, therefore cannot be accessed. Also, to complicate the story even further, the various ancestors come from roughly four different areas in Germany, one of which is since 1946 under Polish administration. I am in touch with a German heritage association who are researching sources in the Polish administrated area. These people advise me to subscribe to the Mormon database.

What do you think? Many thanks for your email, and yes I would be interested in the challenges other family research beginners come across. In the meantime best wishes from >> Erika D.

Why My Story Will Amaze You…

After An Endless 2 Year Struggle,

I Eventually Found My Ancestors

All Within 20 Minutes!

If you’re thinking about signing up for Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com or any other online genealogy search tool, I’m extremely relieved that you’ve found my blog because not only will my story amaze you, it’ll almost certainly save you money as well as a lot of time and heart ache.

I will tell you exactly why over a 2 year period I tried but was forced to give up on my family search with Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and other “Pay to Play” genealogy websites.

What I found was challenging customer service, price increases, and a confusing interface.  I wasn’t sure if what I was finding was even MY ancestors!

There were so many promises and small print wanting me to pay extra that I didn’t know when I was using the service I paid for or if I was going to presented with a new request for more money.

I finally managed to get it right and complete a wonderful family tree with a unique product called ‘Government-Records.com’.

Click here to see it

My name is Chris Clegg and like so many people who have tried to use the Internet for Genealogy research, I spent years desperately trying to figure out how to research my ancestors and make a family tree.

I hadn't done a lot of serious genealogy research online or offline but desperately wanted to get things started.  I needed a resources that would organize all the different options and help me make real progress.

The Inevitable Was Right Around the Corner.

I started with such excitement and zeal but soon realized it was going to be a challenge.  I found a lot of sites that had 'free' services but found out they were mostly scams trying to tell me they had information that they didn't.

Only I would have to pay to realize that I was getting no were.

I Tried Ancestry.com and Failed

It seemed to be the most popular place to go to learn how to make a family tree.

They were expensive, too expensive.

When I signed up and started to type in my family name, people came up in the search results that I knew were not my ancestors. Money wasted.

That’s when I turned to other online services.  I figured I just needed something that was simpler.

I Tried MyHeritage.com But Had To Give That Up Too

They also cost money but not as expensive. However, I had the same problem.

I would put in the names I knew and MyHeritage.com would either ask me to enter information I didn’t have or suggest people I really didn’t think where my ancestors.

After a few weeks of hunting around their website I started find a couple ancestors I didn't know about.

However, after thinking the hard work behind me, I suddenly hit a brick wall.  Sometimes I’d waste hours hunting for someone and the records would just stop.  I didn't have hours to waste.

And that was the point when I realized I had to find another way.

Eventually, I found something that worked.

Having spent so much time, money and energy desperately trying to get any information on my fourth or fifth generation ancestors, that ultimately ended in frustration and wasted time, I had very little to show for my efforts.

However, the next thing I tried that was called Government-Records.com.

I had never heard of it before and because of my recent experiences, I was initially a little dubious. But after reading some extremely complimentary reviews and learning that the cost was minimal compared to everything else I considered, I decided to give it a shot.

Click here to see it

What seemed to be so different with this site is that they provide access for a very long period of time for one very reasonable payment.  I didn't have to worry about getting billed over and over.  They really did their homework to identify the things most important to a genealogy researcher (both the beginner like I was then and the more intermediate researcher like I am today).

Here’s why I recommend them.

The reason why I recommend Government-Records.com is because I purchased their service, followed the simple instructions, and in just 20 minutes I was filling out my family tree like never before.

I still use them almost daily and I haven't paid a cent in years.

Although I did have some problems at first, they were quickly resolved. 
I typically use web browsing software called Firefox and their service required Internet Explorer.  As soon as I started using Internet Explorer, everything worked fine.  I’m sure you’ll agree it is pretty astonishing that I was able to find 5 ancestors in just the first 20 minutes.  I have since been able to go back countless generations!

I love the ability to take notes right in the service.  I can find someone I think might be a lead and take detailed notes right on the records.  That way, if or when I come across that person again, my notes come up with the records.

I also appreciated the bonuses.  They provide the best family tree software I know if, "Family Tree Maker" completely free.  And it all resides within the website so I don't have to download any software.

They also provide two great guides, one called  "Family Connection Guide" and another called  "Become a Private Detective" (which is kind of fun to read but not my thing).

In my opinion,
this website is way more superior
and far more effective
than any of the other products
or services I tried.

Obviously everyone is different but it has worked extremely well for me. The genial part is you simply log in anytime you want do a little research.  They tell you exactly how to do it.

You log in, launch the family tree software, and you’re searching for your ancestors and filling out the tree; making notes as you go along right within the individual record search results.

What could be simpler?

You don’t even have to leave their site, register at other sites, or anything like that.

Their service provides easy research tools by country through:

• court records,
  
• the census,
  
• the military,
  
• passenger manifests,
  
• death records,
  
• criminal checks,
  
• adoption records,
  
• marriage filings,
  
• newspapers,
  
• property deeds,
  
• voter registrations,
  
• and much, much more.

Anyway, I hope you’ve found this information useful whatever your situation because if I had known about Government-Records.com a few months back, I would have avoided the pain and frustration of useless search sessions without wasting my time and money with all these other things.

I wish you every success!

Sincerely,

Why My Story Will Amaze You…

After An Endless 2 Month Struggle,

I Eventually Found The Perfect

Public Records Resource And

Found My Relatives That Same Hour!

If you’re thinking about signing up for Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com or any other online public records search tool, I’m extremely relieved that you’ve found my blog because not only will my story amaze you, it’ll almost certainly save you money as well as a lot of time and heart ache.

I will tell you exactly why over a 2 year period I tried but was forced to give up on my family search with Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and other “Pay to Play” genealogy websites.

What I found was challenging customer service, price increases, and a confusing interface. I wasn’t sure if what I was finding was even MY ancestors!

There were so many promises and small print wanting me to pay extra that I didn’t know when I was using the service I paid for or if I was going to presented with a new request for more money.

I finally managed to get it right and complete a wonderful family tree with a unique product called ‘Government-Records.com’.

My name is Chris Clegg and like so many people who have tried to use the Internet for Genealogy research, I spent years desperately trying different public records sites trying to figure out how to research my ancestors and make a family tree.

I hadn't done a lot of serious genealogy research online or offline but desperately wanted to get things started. I needed a resources that would organize all the different options and help me make real progress.

The Inevitable Was Right Around the Corner.

I started with such excitement and zeal but soon realized it was going to be a challenge. I found a lot of sites that had 'free' services but found out they were mostly scams trying to tell me they had information that they didn't.

Only I would have to pay to realize that I was getting no were.

I Tried Ancestry.com and Failed

It seemed to be the most popular place to go to learn how to make a family tree.

They were expensive, too expensive.

When I signed up and started to type in my family name, people came up in the search results that I knew were not my ancestors. Money wasted.

That’s when I turned to other online services. I figured I just needed something that was simpler.

I Tried MyHeritage.com But Had To Give That Up Too

They also cost money but not as expensive. However, I had the same problem.

I would put in the names I knew and MyHeritage.com would either ask me to enter information I didn’t have or suggest people I really didn’t think where my ancestors.

After a few weeks of hunting around their website I started find a couple ancestors I didn't know about.

However, after thinking the hard work behind me, I suddenly hit a brick wall. Sometimes I’d waste hours hunting for someone and the records would just stop. I didn't have hours to waste.

And that was the point when I realized I had to find another way.

Eventually, I found something that worked.

Having spent so much time, money and energy desperately trying to get any information on my fourth or fifth generation ancestors, that ultimately ended in frustration and wasted time, I had very little to show for my efforts.

However, the next thing I tried that was called Government-Records.com.

I had never heard of it before and because of my recent experiences, I was initially a little dubious. But after reading some extremely complimentary reviews and learning that the cost was minimal compared to everything else I considered, I decided to give it a shot.

What seemed to be so different with this site is that they provide access for a very long period of time for one very reasonable payment. I didn't have to worry about getting billed over and over. They really did their homework to identify the things most important to a genealogy researcher (both the beginner like I was then and the more intermediate researcher like I am today).

Here’s why I recommend them.

The reason why I recommend Government-Records.com is because I purchased their service, followed the simple instructions, and in just 20 minutes I was filling out my family tree like never before.

I still use them almost daily and I haven't paid a cent in years.

Although I did have some problems at first, they were quickly resolved.
I typically use web browsing software called Firefox and their service required Internet Explorer. As soon as I started using Internet Explorer, everything worked fine. I’m sure you’ll agree it is pretty astonishing that I was able to find 5 ancestors in just the first 20 minutes. I have since been able to go back countless generations!

I love the ability to take notes right in the service. I can find someone I think might be a lead and take detailed notes right on the records. That way, if or when I come across that person again, my notes come up with the records.

I also appreciated the bonuses. They provide the best family tree software I know if, "Family Tree Maker" completely free. And it all resides within the website so I don't have to download any software.
