Finding your ancestors for free
There is a recent article in Family Tree Magazine in which Sandra Adams-West talks about her experience of volunteering with FreeReg, one of the UK’s most popular genealogy websites, which offers visitors the chance to trace their family tree free of charge.
There are quite a number of initiatives including FreeCEN and FreeBMD that you can use – I would suggest that it is worth checking the information that has been transcribed with the original documents that they link to ensure that the information is correct.
These are great resources for the amateur historian but if you don’t want to do it yourself or you have hit a brick wall with your research we can always help using our family history services and our free Discovery Lite service that checks whether we can assist you without obligation.
