Free Geneology Resources - Family Search

Family Search
www.familysearch.org
A great site for searching for information for your family tree which is free. This service is provided through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and includes information for births/christenings, marriages and deaths for many countries. Census information is also available, with a wide range of new indexes being added due to the Indexing Project (which anyone can volunteer for - a very worthwhile project and very rewarding!)

There is a wide range of resources available on the website - free online classes, free family history software as well as a number of databases which are reasonably priced.
There are also Family History Centres around the world and their website allows you to search by country for their location.

I have used this website extensively for family research for Scotland, England and Australia and have found it very useful. There is another great source which can be used in conjunction with this family search indexes, which makes it even easier to use, which will be added very soon.

Visit the 'Free Resources' page regularly to see the soon to be growing list of free genealogical resources for all those keen family tree reseachers. If you know of resources which could be added to the page, please feel free to let me know.
