BASIC ANCESTOR SEARCHES, various sites For more general searches, see below FIRST NAME LAST NAME KINDRED KONNECTIONS "Ancestry Archive" Free Ancestry Search Kindred Konnections, MyTrees: "The Ancestry Archive is an index to our pedigree-linked genealogy database. Using this index, you can quickly search through the pedigree information we currently have available on your family ancestry. The information in the Ancestry Archive Index comes from two main sources. The first source is our collection of pedigree files from submitters and other genealogists. Whenever a GEDCOM file of personal family history is submitted to us, we add that file to the Ancestry Archive. The other source of pedigree-linked genealogy is indexed family history websites. After you have determined there are names of interest to you in our Archive, you will want to create and activate an account to see the data in pedigree-linked format with notes and submitter information." ONE GREAT FAMILY Surname Index ORIGINS NETWORK ancestors from Great Britain, Ireland, Scotland MyFamily.com went on-line in 1998, offering private web space for family groups - free - by invitation.
