Welcome to Family-Search.info!

Welcome to our NEW genealogy resource. This website contains reviews and details of the best genealogy and family tracing websites on the Internet. The growth of the World Wide Web means that it has never been so easy to trace your family back through the generations. However, with such a large number of websites out there, how do you know which are the best?

About the Site: My friends and I have acquired a great deal of knowledge from creating our own family trees and by becoming members of the websites that we review on 'family-search.info'. We have spent a lot of time looking closely at a number of popular genealogy sites and have attempted to present our findings in a balanced way. There are 100s of family research websites on the Internet. We have only included a fraction of what is out there. The reviews below show three excellent global websites which contain the best information. Our list however, is not exhaustive and if you have any suggestions of good family websites please contact us. We will be adding more content over the coming weeks. Please add us to your bookmarks (press CTRL-D).

Happy family searching! Alex.
