I'm of Irish heritage so I can't tell you. The British burned the records in the 1700's. It sounds cool though. 4951

Family Tree Has anyone used ancestry.com or similar software, which do you think is best?
 
@Tex17 : I stayed up way late several nights recently glued to the ancestry app. I think the app is easier to use than the website. A few days ago I called my Nana joking that I was stalking her online! She was actually asking ME questions about her early years.
 
Her family moved around a lot because her dad worked for the railroad. I was able to pull up a phonebook page that showed that the year my grandma was born my great grandma was living in an apartment in Galveston! We go to Galveston a lot and love it... we almost bought a place on the strand there a few years ago to live there full time.
 
I had never known this story! This was in the 1930s and 40s...
 
Anyway, I traced back one line to the 1700s. My 3rd great grandfather was born in Paris and came to New Orleans at a young age. I got engaged in New Orleans... so I thought that was really neat, too.
 
Get ready to fall down a rabbit hole. If I open that app right now, I'll be up until 3am again. Oh, and I didn't buy anything. When you click on the 'hints' a pop-up ad will show to try to get you to pay for a membership, but if you click again the docs will show. A lot of it is public information anyway... 4951

@Chrisinkingwood : I'll second Legacy Family Tree as a local software. I originally purchase it over a decade ago to get all the records from my grandparents on both sides into digital form. The records were all hand written research done by them at different points, all through written correspondence without the internet.
 
You can get the trial subscriptions for Ancestry or others to complete holes in research and keep costs down. I believe they will also suggest links to other family trees people have created given similar names, birth/death dates, etc. This helped extend my family tree significantly, in most cases we had the family line far back, but didn't have extensions beyond sibling names. 4951

It's almost scary how many family members I am finding without software, I know I will be amazed by what I find with it. 4951
