You don't need that much money, there's loads of stuff on the internet, websites, newsgroups etc.

well i can imagine that these sites will ask for money straight away or after a free trial.

Would be the English empire then (which I've always said, still do) not the British, since British means (and includes) the English, the Scottish & the Welsh. In this case the Scottish suggests they were the driving force, which is interesting enough I suppose. (:

Great series and thanks for the uploads, much appreciated.

If you live in America look for a family history center near you. It is like a libary outpost. You can request all sorts of genealogical books and records on loan from their main location in Salt Lake city. You can google it to find the outpost nearest you and it is all free.

It's amazing what sorts of paper you can find. I discovered an ancestor's US Civil War service by finding his second wife's claim for a pension due to an injury he had suffered while serving in the Army. It gave the name of his unit and where he fought and was injured, and with that information, I was able to get his service records.

Sounds less like he just wanted to go home, and more like he suffered a bit of heat exhaustion or heat stroke... or reasons why you could no longer serve well in a hot climite.

Public libraries subscribe to Ancestry Library Edition. I live in the Us and my local library subcribes to Ancestry Library Edition. Roots web has family trees, and gen forums has has many forums for surnames and places.

What languages? And whence is your family?

[TemperatureIndicator]

those sites like familysearch, are they free forever no matter what?

[Ulfcytel]

Quite right too, so do I!

familysearch and rootsweb are both free, as are the newsgroups (eg Yahoo!).
