Abel Adger: If you edit your question, by adding your information ( if your parents are both still living, that is how they will be listed--"Living Jones" or "Living Schmitt". This is done to protect their identity. Until they pass away, their names will not be found, and neither will yours until your death, on ancestry websites.That is why you don't exist on familysearch.org. There could be people listed with your name, but not your birthdate), but start with your grandparents. If they are also still alive, ask about their parents (your great-grandparents) and start from there. You can add the current information about your family as it comes along. I also have a world deluxe membership to ancestry.com; a membership to worldvitalrecords.com; etc. If you don't want to edit this question, my email is in my profile. Using someone else's user name/password can only lead to a deep pile of you-know-what, and get one or the other of us into biiiiiiiiiiig trouble....Show more
Pam Rampadarat: I can understand your frustration, but you can find census records and other documents online for free if you know where to look. Start by narrowing down the place and then start searching for vital records in that place. They may not have them online yet, but sometimes they have catalogs of their documents. What you need are some free resources. Check out these free genealogy websites, you might just find what you are looking for....Show more
Maye Delk: Have you contacted the Mormon Church in your area? If you call the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints you can ask them where the nearest Family History Center is to your house. Go there when they are open and you will receive free assistance and free access to Ancestry, Footnote.com and numerous other sites. It sounds like you need some direction and that is a FREE place to get that direction. You do not have to be a member of their church to use it.Good Luck!The History Manhttp://www! historyman.blogspot.com/...Show more
Brock Hladik: It sa! ys you don't exist because you are living. They do not post information about people until they have been dead for a minimum of 10 years. I'm Mormon and the free system that everyone can access says I don't exist.However, go to your local LDS meeting house that has a Family History Center and the person there can help you get registered as a non-member on the secured site. Once you register, you will enter your information and then you will exist. You will only be able to access information about your ancestry and no one else'sGood luck!...Show more
Virgil Loatman: Genealogy websites like ancestry.com and the Mormon's familysearch don't include the names of living people. So you won't find yourself, or your parents, and probably not your grandparents. You'll need to know the names of your great-grandparents, or an ancestor who was alive in 1930, before websites will be any help.For most people, getting information about your great-grandparents means talking to y! our family members. But in your case, with a mom who was adopted and a dad you've never met, that may be a challenge. Does your mom know the names of her biological parents? Does she, or anyone, know how to contact your dad or any of his relatives? If you'll post another question and give us the details on this, someone may be able to give you some suggestions on how to proceed....Show more
Gabriel Realmuto: Because you are still alive you will have difficulty finding info through the Mormon site. It is against policy to give out ones user name and password. We all struggle paying for our subscriptions. Send me the full info and places (states and cities) and dates and I'll see what I find! Please give Name Birth datePlace born or lived last known.Also who they are. Make it easier to have spellings correct and all data with each person!Also state what it is you want to know!...Show more
Kandi Lough: Ancestors are "bloodline".Names are not biological; people ! are. If your mom was adopted, what you really need to know is who were! her parents? The name she knows may be a name provided by adoption agency, adopting parents, or who knows what.You do not need to ever meet your dad; all you need is information, name, dates of birth/marriage/death, etc.People keep claiming that living persons are not in Ancestry, but that is not true. I am in there, my wife, all of my siblings and their spouses and some of the offspring of my siblings and I. I have protested, but to no avail. (Just like Yahoo!..they make their rules fit however they want.)If you have interenet access, you can access all kinds of records, trees, etc. For those sites you need to pay for, try your local public library.Here is my "cut & paste" list of sites:You should start by asking all your living relatives about family history. Then, armed with that information, you can go to your public library and check to see if it has a genealogy department. Most do nowadays; also, don't forget to check at community colleges, universities, etc. Ou! r public library has both www.ancestry.com and www.heritagequest.com free for anyone to use (no library card required).Another place to check out is any of the Mormon's Family History Centers. They allow people to search for their family history (and, NO, they don't try to convert you).A third option is one of the following websites:http://www.searchforancestors.com/... http://www.censusrecords.net/?o_xid=2739... www dot usgenweb dot com/ www dot census dot gov/ http://www.rootsweb.com/ www dot ukgenweb dot com/ www dot archives dot gov/ http://www.familysearch.org/ http://www.accessgenealogy.com/... http://www.cyndislist.com/ www dot geni dot com/Cyndi's has the most links to genealogy websites, whether ship's passenger lists, ancestors from Africa, ancestors from the Philippines, where ever and whatever.Of course, you may be successful by googling: "john doe, born 1620, plimouth, massachusetts" as an example.Good luck and have fun!Check out this article on five great free! genealogy websites:www dot associatedcontent dot com/article...Then th! ere is the DNA test; if you decide you want to REALLY know where your ancestors came from opt for the DNA test. Besides all the mistakes that officials commonly make, from 10% to 20% of birth certificates list the father wrong; that is, mama was doing the hanky-panky and someone else was the REAL father. That won't show up on the internet or in books; it WILL show up in DNA.I used www.familytreedna.com which works with the National Geographics Genotype Program....Show more
Fritz Sisomphou: Dont half to be bitter. And I would but guess what I DONT KNOW MY ANSCETORS! IF I DID I WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE! I AM TRYING TO FIND MY BLOOD LINE ANCESTORS!

An! tone Youla: No one is going to send you their password. Sheesh. and, just to help you out... genealogy sites are not GOING TO HAVE you. They don't include living persons. Yahoo also prohibits it. If you need a question answered about one of your ancestors, who is dead.. post the question.
