Last Tuesday we talked about beginning your family research, and the importance of being hands-on in the beginning. If you missed that post you can click here to read it. Today, we are going to talk about two of the largest genealogical databases on the web, and the pros and cons of both sites.
Ancestry.com is a great website for researching your family history. The database is extensive, and the ability to connect with newfound family members is great.
Cons -Though you can do basic research for free. Any in-depth information requires a paid monthly/annual subscription.Even though you can research international records they are hard to weed through to find your ancestor.
