Will Ancestry should have a link on their site for these starter videos or host them directly on the site?
Yes, there is written instructions in the site, but video would be a great help.

What if you don’t know their birthdays or surnames?

I’m loving ancestry, finding a lot about dads side of the family. My grandpa’s dad’s mom was born around 1860.

But what I really wanna know if she had any other siblings who would go on to fight in the civil war…

The European version is just too expensive. Sigh...

[prttyblackbarbie]

Will I be able to find my real parents? I’m adopted…

[freakyflow]

I found my real birth parents after 43 year..So wanting to know my background Closed a gap Thankfully a uncle as a hobby traced back to the 1700's And made a book...with the info And Ancestry the match up now dates to 1622 confirmed And the family crest touches 1066 King william In to the Normans invading France And settling in Normandy To Think Grandfather left Canada to go to England And land on Normandy beach to take back France. That had his forefathers live over 1000 years And left Normandy to fight Harold And Crown a new King And take back England
