Looking back into my past

[seaboy4hire]

I am wondering if anyone has used Ancestry.com or a similar site and did they help you find what you are looking for. I am considering using such a site as I am trying to hopefully find where someone who was close to me is buried. All I have now is his name city and county he had lived. I say county cause it is in the south and it seems like counties are used more then cities. So yeah thats the deal.

 

Hugs,

Greg

Before you consider ANY paid service, make sure you've fully exhausted all of what Google can find for free.

 

Most county clerk records in the US are online and Google knows about them, including birth and death records, and often including burial records.

 

The commercial sites like ancestry.com certainly didn't fan out across the country doing any research. They're just conglomerating what's available as public records.

Ancestry.com is an excellent resource to use when trying to trace family history. In addition to birth and marriage records, they have have death records (including social security numbers) for just about everybody who has died in the United States. Their scanned census records are especially useful when trying to find families who were alive in 1930 or earlier (the later census records are not yet available on-line).

 

If you like, I'll be happy to look up someone for you.

Thanks for the tip Deej. I did find a site though not a lot of info but it did show the persons birth date and his ss number :O But not exactly what I was looking for. Hoover might hit you up on that look up. But the same site that I found the ss number does have a forum and I did post asking someone who was in that area of the world I am looking in to do a search since I am not as familiar with where things are. *Sigh*
