• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Not certificates but some sites that you can get some good information on (European decent most useful to but can help others) that I have found are:
www.familysearch.org
This site is created by the LDS church and gives access to census records etc.
Another that is useful if you are in anyway related to royalty (I have discovered that I am not in any way but it still has thousands of names listed) is:
www.thepeerage.com
This guy has sourced where he has obtained his information if that is acceptable to you and has included his emailing address if you have questions etc. hope this is of help to you

Though not free, Ancestory.com is an excellent site. I got a free 90 day trial when I purchased Family Tree Maker and to be honest I have accomplished more research the past 90 days than I have the past 2 years. I elected to upgrade to the $19.99 per month plan and really feel it is well worth the money. (averages out to about .67 per day if you are doing research daily as I am). Cindys list is usually a good resource as well, Genforum also is pretty good. Hope this helps. Evertons has a pay site as well $5.95 per month which I didn't really find that helpful.

My mother went on ancestry.com and got a free trial. She found a wealth of information about her family, and it is delightful for me to know my family history. My father also did a lot of research on his family, and traced us all the way back to England. I found out nearly all of my ancestors are from the southeastern part of the USA, I have southern roots. A lot of them were farmers, but I have a brown thumb instead of a green one, I like plants but I can't seem to keep them alive.
