I've bottomed out....
35 years of doing genealogy, and I've amassed boxes of letters, dozens of photographs from the 1800s...and I even know what my 5th and 4th G.Grandfathers looked like from their oil paintings- 1727 and 1764.
60 years BEFORE the Revolutionary War!

My ancestors were the "Wellers", whose sea shanty has gone viral on youtube and tiktok...the same ones who established a whaling supply outpost in Otagu NZ in 1830. ...

I am SO LUCKY that, although I've spent 30+ yrs chasing...I found treasure troves along the way that enabled me to open more doors!!

Good luck to ALL!!

One free website I often use that's free are the General Land Office records from the Bureau of Land Management. I can learn who lived where and when.

a few weeks ago, I randomly googled and ancestor's name and the river he built a bridge on. I got a site about bridges that had drawings about the bridge and some info. I learned he built a bridge on the state historical society's site.

I have been doing family history data entry for seven years. I do volunteer for my church. I am a professional family history data entry. I love doing 1800’s document.

I found some family members on a Rhode Island historical society by just searching for the name. Really interesting things are listed in archived historical documents, including lists of people killed in King Phillips’ War, at Bunker Hill, signing various petitions supporting the Revolutionary War. It was fascinating, not just for the family members I found, but just for history. I cannot remember all the sites I found. The pages you mentioned must be searched more often because they have started showing up when I just search for names.

Thank you so much for all the free resources!

If you have Czech/Moravian ancestry there are like 6 or 7 separate websites that cover the regional archives of the country. The functionality of the websites are different and they aren’t indexed, but are getting improved every year.

Thank you for this info! I have a swarm of ancestors that immigrated to the US from Canada. I'm hoping this will help. Also, what is a good way to find death records prior to 1861. I've hit a brick wall on finding info on an ancestor.

[ramonaklassen]

Some sites I knew about and excited about the others to pass on to others.

Congratulations on your great contribution to the genealogical study.
Which websites look for ancestors of the Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe?
I appreciate your contribution.

[hatemhatem]

Its very good information thank you from algeria

[fsnfsbid]

Thank you, I found some letters in Swedish to my Grandmother from her parents. Wondering if there are apps or sites that deal with translations. I live in Albuquerque, great to have new resources.

There are a few good tips that work for everyone - but video is mostly about North American resources. (but thanks for the info and I'm sure it will help a lot for people)

[miriamcedillo]

Just found this video, though 2 years old. Have you done, or are going to do, a video for those who are 1st generation Americans? Both my parents born in other countries. How does one find on the Internet genealogical websites, archives, etc. for those wishing to find out about foreign-born ancestors?

[PigEatinBacon]

Hi I had a question me and my bf are trying to research about his ancestry but it’s all in Mexico and we’re low on funds do you have any suggestions for good resources for Mexico?

[vincentwortmann]

You guys are in Cincinnati? I went to college at UC! Love your channel!!

[juliecrockford]

I have a lot of issues researching my mom's side. She was born in Mexico and abandoned by her mom. My mom's aunt raised her but none of their family stayed close and I recently learned that both my mom's parents passed away and then her aunt also died. The only cousins I have contact with don't know what anyone's names are because everyone either used a nickname or middle name, but their last names are all over the place. I also ran into a problem while trying to contact family who I've been DNA matched with because very few of them speak English and I know no Spanish. If anyone has any tips for figuring this stuff out, I'd greatly appreciate it. There are people who are adopted who've found their relatives so I have high hopes.
