1. Find a record option
The fastest way to find records your ancestors may be located in is to use the following websites. The websites automatically access all of their databases and bring back "hints" that you can review to see if it is your ancestor. You can also attach the record you find to your tree found on that website.


 * Websites with the "hints" feature
 * MyHeritage(Covers European countries)
 * FamilySearch (Covers countries World-wide)
 * FindMyPast (Covers United Kingdom and Ireland)
 * Ancestry (Covers U.S., United Kingdom and Ireland, Canada, Australia, and Europe)
 * Find a record plugin This free extension you download to your Chrome browser or Fire Fox browser analyzes your Family Tree data located on FamilySearch.org. It searches free databases for your family members located on the tree and brings back possible matches for your ancestors. You must review each match to see if it is your ancestor.
