i am trying to find my great grandparents in the 1930 census. So far the only way I have found to see them is by paying for the genealogy sites. Any ideas?

I am getting a project underway this year to make genealogy information free to anybody searching online. I need volunteers in ANY area of the UK who would be willing to help me in a project to catalogue old graveyards. This is purely a voluntary venture would you help me by sparing a few hours of your time when you can? I can be emailed via YA if you are interested. You don’t need any experience just the ability to use a pen or pencil. It does’nt matter if you can only spare an hour or two now and again. Every minute would be precious to me and I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you.
I checked, loads happening in the USA but little information like I plan to put together available on their site…. if being honest didn’t find any at least not in the part of the country I live. I am not bothered what is happening worldwide, I am keen to get the info online asap for here our little island.

I am trying my hand at genealogy and am working on the Minter side and found we are related to the Jones also. We were invited to the family reunion in Texas a few years back and I have lost the email address.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been interested in my past. My way past, that is. That past that was even before I was born. Well, of course I’m talking about my ancestors. Those very people who had a part in making me who I am today.

It used to be the search for my heritage took me to the library where I had to spend countless hours combing through books seeking information about my ancestors. But, today, there are so many more resources available for genealogy research. Let’s take a look at three such resources you should consider, both high tech and low tech.

The Internet

The internet has certainly simplified genealogy research. You no longer have to take a trek to the library and sit next to someone with strong perfume or cologne to find information about your ancestors.

What kind of information can you find on the internet?

Surname Search

Birth Records

Death Records

Marriage Records

Census Records

Cemetery Records

Military Records

While searching on the internet you have the choice of using a paid service, or numerous free services, many specific to states or counties. For example, if you’re interest in Birth, Death and Marriage records for ancestors from West Virginia, you can go to http://www.wvculture.org/vrr and do a free search of their records. Many other states, counties and historical societies have similar websites.

Another way to utilize the internet is to visit genealogy communities or forums. Perhaps someone else is researching the same people, or knows someone who is. One such site is http://www.geocities.com/ohgenealogy/Index.html, where people have links to their personal genealogy pages, as well as a link to a genealogy forum. This site deals with ancestors from Ohio, but you can find similar pages for other states and countries by doing a basic internet search.

DNA Testing

Want to go even more high tech? Many people have turned to DNA tests to determine where their ancestors are from. A simple swab of the inside of one’s cheek (yep, just like they do on CSI) can yield DNA which will be compared with other’s DNA. Two types of DNA testing are Y chromosome testing (Y-DNA) and mitochondrial DNA testing. The Y –DNA tests look at paternal lineage while the mitochondrial DNA looks at maternal lineage.

Such tests can be used to determine such things as: which present-day African country you share your ancestry; which European maternal clan you share ancestry; percentage of Native American ancestry.

Oral History

From the extreme high tech to the extreme low tech. While it’s true some stories get distorted over many tellings, you still should talk to as many relatives as possible to get clues to your genealogy. Oral histories can give you information that no DNA test or records search will offer.

Oral histories, along with giving you information to then research through the internet, can also give you the family “color.” Oral histories make your heritage come alive and become more colorful. Maybe you have a horse thief in your family’s past. Now, nobody would want a car thief in their family now. But a horse thief in your family past who lived before the Civil War? Well, that’s just interesting.

Remember to organize all your information so that someday you can pass it down to future generations as well. You might want to purchase some genealogy software which can help organize and publish your information.

Remember, your past is a part of who you are today. Of course, your future is up to you.

DNA Markers for Genealogy – Mitochondrial DNA Genealogy

Who else wants to know about DNA markers for genealogy? Here is a simple scientific test to trace your ancestors. Did you know that DNA From One Generation To The Other Is Almost Conclusive Evidence. This breakthrough in genealogy research has been making headlines for the past several years with some astounding proof of kinship between some very prominent historical figures.

DNA testing for family tree is not only convenient, but also simple. You find a genealogy testing company either in the phone book of on the Internet. Next, make an appointment and go to the company on your assigned day, fill out the forms, pay the fee and your good to go. The DNA genealogy test starts with a mouth swab of your mouth near the cheek. Many companies give you a kit so you can do the mouth swab at home and mail in the results to the laboratory. After the laboratory tests the DNA, the results are sent back to testee.

Wide DNA Databases Compare

The company doing the genealogy DNA testing will obviously need to have access to DNA databases which they will use to make comparisons and once these comparisons show their results, the company will then send you the results regarding whom your DNA swab matched with. You should realize that each and every cell is sure to have your DNA and whether it is your ***** or egg cells or even the *** cells, you will be providing your own unique DNA for further matching.

Parents Pinpointed

Listen closely. Genealogy DNA testing is helpful in pinpointing an individual’s parentage and it can be used extensively when you need to know who the mother is, and also in case of adoptions. Thus, it is easy to see how genealogy DNA testing can help with creating your family tree because your DNA will have been passed from one generation to the next and the information pertaining to your ancestors will be encoded therein.

The Egg The Sperm

When your ***** and also egg cell combine together, a new cell is created that will hold DNA from either parent and when genealogy DNA testing is performed in specialist laboratories, they will help provide evidence whether you are related to another person with a matching DNA. What’s more, the chances of two persons having identical DNA are very small with the exception of identical twins which are due to the fact that their DNA is identical because the fertilized egg had split and formed two fetuses obtained from a single ***** and also from the same egg.

Cutting Edge Medical Science Genealogy DNA Testing

Just imagine, as DNA is passed from generation to generation there is very little change in its structure. This is amazing and is the primary reason to use DNA markers for genealogy testing to explore your ancestry. In no time at all, the link between families can be nailed down and makes the construction of a family tree that much more reliable and accurate. And new advances are being made in medical science to enhance and improve the DNA testing for family tree.

Brookline Technologies has been producing some of the best MLM genealogy software on the internet since 1996. This type of software not only allows MLM companies to flourish, it also gives not only leaders in any given company a chance to make their businesses stronger, but also the new business owners as well.

If you are unfamiliar with MLM genealogy software or reports, this enhancement keeps others up to date with companies that go out of business and have hundreds if not thousands upon thousands of other MLM business owners searching for a new company to work for on the internet. It allows both veterans and amateur business owners the opportunity to get more people in their own downlines at a faster rate. Meaning that the speed and efficiency that Brookline provides is crucial to many people.

Brookline Technologies integrates the MLM genealogy software with their WebXpress software to offer the best program possible for business owners. You can expect to receive retail and quick order entries, dowline and genealogy reports, customer enrollments, and many other options making this one of the best systems to use.

Whether or not you are looking for MLM genealogy software you are definitely starting off on the right foot with Brookline Technologies. The company as a whole offers several different softwares to help you along whatever avenue your are taking with your MLM business. The product itself is designed for growth within your company, offering a program with four different applications packed in one solution for your business needs.

While we couldn’t find a definitive review on Brookline’s MLM genealogy software, we did find several others talking highly of the company overall. Expressing the company’s maturity, experience, and architectural mindset that leaves the competition behind in the MLM software industry. They have consulting partners (Sheffield Resource Network, Jeff Babener, Service Quest) that can and will provide the necessary tools your company needs to become successful in this industry.

Although, that may not be enough to build a confident backbone in the company and if thats the case you should take a look at their Alliance Partners. Not wanting to take anything away from the Direct Sales Association and Struck Design, but they are teamed up with Oracle and the prolific Microsoft company. That is the type of names you want to see next to a business like this that sells MLM genealogy software and other products.

This is just some of the information we have found that we felt should be relayed to our readers if this may be something you’re interested in purchasing. As always, keep in mind to do all the research yourself on everyone of the companies we provide information on, so you will have confidence in them just as you do in us. As for the cost of the MLM genealogy software, we could not find one on the website. However, we did find a consulting area which most likely is the area where you can talk with someone and it will be addressed there.

MLM Genealogy Lists used to be one of the hidden secrets of the industry. Other companies would go out of business and basically sell names of their recruits to other MLM companies. Those companies would then hold online conferences and such getting mass numbers of people to transfer over to them. It was quite the easy way for smaller companies to get bigger in a short amount of time or make the strong, stronger.

Today however, individuals who are just coming into a home based business can go out and get the same MLM Genealogy Lists the owners were getting. A great way for you to get people underneath you in no time. Why? Because you are calling upon people that have already worked in MLM for the most part.

This means you will only have to teach them how the company works, not necessarily how MLM works. Even better is finding MLM Genealogy Lists that are fresh. Which for you could boast some heavy hitters from another company and we all know what getting someone like that can do for your overall downline.

However, there are so many different companies selling MLM Genealogy Lists its hard to decipher which brokers are better. So you have to a little research where cost, efficiency, and freshness loom large. If you can gather the combination of all three, you can find some excellent lists to build your business.

Cost is important in everything, even if you have the money to throw around because, when you run any type of business, you want to make more money then your spending. Even millionaires understand that if they are throwing around hundreds of thousands of dollars for this business, they better be making more than that. Why do you think they are millionaires?

Same thing applies to home based businesses. If you are going to spend $100, you need to make at least $100 to cover the costs of everything as you build your downline. So remember that when you are looking for your MLM Genealogy Lists or any other plan to build your business.

When talking about efficiency with MLM Genealogy Lists, we want the best leads out there. We want the people that are veterans, are still interested in an MLM company, and haven’t been called 300 times already by other home business owners. Yes, it’s asking a lot but you want the best for the money your paying.

This goes hand in hand with freshness because those leads that are 0-72 hours old are crucial. Many MLM Genealogy Lists come from brokers that categorize the lists. If your business requires those that come from an old health and wellness company, they can be targeted for you. Once you can narrow down to your specific criteria, the freshest leads are at your disposal, and they are very affordable, you might possibly have found your gold mine.

This will get you started in giving you an idea of where to go from here for what you are looking to find. Do a little research on the pricing, don’t just jump into the first one you see. We all are anxious to build our businesses, but being smart about it is more important in the long run.
