Salvatore Walls: I know what you mean - and I hate pa! ying for stuff!I don't know where you are looking, but in Onta! rio, Canada, there is a great free source:http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/vs...I hope you are in Ontario - basically, you look up birth, marriage and death records on an index in your local library and then the library orders (for free) the microfilm reel with the actual record.Another great site is Archives Canada at:http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.htmlCanadian census figures are at http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.htmlFor information from the UK, try:http://www.genuki.org.uk/and there are indexes for birth, marriage and death athttp://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ BUT you have to pay (I think £7) to get the actual record mailed to you. A fun site to look at is http://www.tribalpages.com/ You can search for names, but some of the family trees are sometimes not accurate. You can also post your own family tree for free. This makes it easier to share with others and ask questions....Show more

Arlen Lopiccalo: www.cyndislist.com is a collection of! thousands of genealogy sites. Most of the 'for fee' sites will come up, if you google genealogy, family history, etc. Most of these type sites claim to offer family trees. Genealogy records are found anywhere that your ancestors were. For instance, your family lived in Dallas, Texas.. you need to google Dallas cemeteries or Dallas history, etc. Start by using cyndi's beginner section, which has excellent tutorials. When you educate yourself about the process, you are in a better position to recognize how to get RECORDS, not just pre packaged "trees". They may or may not be correct.. they are the results of someone else's research, not original stuff. Ancestry is the best known 'fee' site. It does offer original records.. but it is a service, and the fee is valid. You would have costs to access this info, if you had to go elsewhere. Most records might be 'free'... the effort to get them, not always....Show more
