I feel like this would be the best board to ask, I apologise if there is another board where I should have posted this.

I'm starting to make my family tree, so I can learn the history of my family, it's origins, and all that jazz. But I have no idea where/how to start. My living family has next to no information on our past relatives. We have some of their last names, but that's about it.

I've heard ancestry.ca/com is a great website for finding this information. Only problem is, I really don't want to pay that $29.99 a month (money's already tight enough as is). I feel like googling their names is going to give me many different people, with the same name.

I guess my questions would be (as stated earlier) where should I start? And how do you kind folks of /his/ make such an accurate family tree??? Any tricks behind it???

Pro tip: don't even bother. You're a peasant all the way down like 99% of the population.

That aside, most places keep physical records. Your local municipality or whatever, should have some shit archived, although I don't know how accessible it would be.

>tfw this is true to no end

I looked at mine as far back as around 1066, and it was the most boring thing I have ever seen

My mums side is Scottish

Dads side is England

No one who was a solder was even special, just infantrymen who died most of the time

I spent roughly £300 to discover I am of pleb descent (but thanks to them im alive, so you the best)
