Glad you like the video. Far as I know, you'd be able to pay again and access the tree. You can also get a free account, though you won't have as many records. I'm betting the church records on the Family search catalogue are better than ancestry. Another free site for Italian civil records is antenati.cultura.gov.it I covered that in another video.

I agree the Irish ancestors are really hard to locate and the Irish records are not good. A lot of Irish people emigrated to England and the British records are very good.
I knew some were available, but limited and you generally got a list of the info on them, but had to purchase the record. I''ll check it out tomorrow though, thanks.
I have watched few of your videos here on youtube. I have a question regarding couple of my half uncles of my dad. For both males, they lived with their sister and her husband in their early years. Later on, they both moved to live on a farm in Washington State. Either one never married. Which is stated on the census records. FamilySearch gives a note that they have no spouse or children. What suggestion could you suggest on how to handle persons in this case. Thank you.
I've been having the worst time on these sites. Got loads of names and dates etc but apparently they have zero records on any of my immediate family. I know both my grandparents dob and death dates where they lived their whole lives etc but literally nothing shows up on electoral registers, military records, birth and death certificates which I find strange since they both served in the military and were always registered to vote... My grandfather took me to vote for the first time when I was 18 shortly before his passing. I never really had the pleasure of learning about older generations of my family but would really like to know my roots :(
I been having difficulty finding my relatives in Madeira Portugal. Records are just bad there. Plus online they expect to know the baptism date. Where’s the best place to find all that out?
If you're referring to my zio in the video, no, he was born in Carini. I have my Randazzo line back 500 years and if one was a foundling and named for being from Randazzo, then it was much earlier than I have records for.
I’ve been trying to figure out wether I’m Mexican or not because I’m Puerto Rican but look very Mexican, and so I did my own ancestry tree and from my dads side it went from Puerto Rico records to Mexico records and then I got lost from there, I can’t find the specific person but I know their name, their records are not found and it’s giving me the wrong information, what do I do?
I am having trouble finding my grandfather. My dad said that he never knew him, so it’s this big mystery. I have a hit for a 3rd cousin on ancestry but the guy has not been on in months. All my other hits are 4th cousins. What would you suggest, I don’t know his name or anything about him?
Man the names of my dad's family is very common and from a pretty rural area in turkey. Its super hard to find any info especially because I don't speak the language rip
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that, I looked and ancestry doesn't have them, and the records are not on familysearch either. There are lots of parts of Europe where the records are not online yet and you have to travel to where you're researching. If they immigrated to the US, Canada, Australia etc, then you can get something.
Can someone help me, i can find a relative who lives in 1911 and the earliest record i could find of him was in 1950. I have been trying to find his parents. How do i find them??
Hi! I need help. I have been trying to find my grandma but have not had any luck. Her name is Kathleen Gibbons/Palmieri. We are trying to find her mom and dad since she was raised by her grandma. She was born in the early 50’s and died in January 2013. How can I find her?
She lived in Agoura Hills, CA, but do not know where she was born. I know that she was born in April 1952 but do not know the grandma’s name. Maybe her last name was gibbons also?? Gibbons is my Grandma’s Maiden last name and Palmieri is her last name from marriage. I can try and ask my dad if he knows her grandma’s name.
I wanna know who my paternal great grandfather is because he left his family for a war and does not have a record. my grandfathers name is nazakatullah hashmi and we are from india
I hear ya, but this is really new to me. I've never tried to find records from India. There is also the language barrier, but I can do a search and see if anything is online. Where in India is your family from?
Heyyy, do you have tips, I have an unknown ancestor from central asia acording to DNA testing. I am around 2 percent. I am dutch, but my grandpa is a lot darker than most dutch people. I figured out with a little ape braining it would probably be my grandfathers, grandparents grandparent. That would be 100 percent, ofcourse it could be earlier or later in our line due that genetics can be more or less dominant for the next generation. HOW can I figure this out
If I understand the question, you could take a test and upload to a site like ancestry, that would show DNA connections with those who have also uploaded their DNA.
Is there a reason why I can't find any records of my ancestors? Most of them are from Serbia and I can't find anything about them. I've tried multiple different websites but unfortunately, the results were the same. I can't find anything even with this guy, Radomir Djordjevic (~1915). His family was rich, and I mean RICH. But still, I can any records of him or others.
@@epicgenealogy8853 Unfortunately not. According to my grandmother, he married a girl named Ljubica, whom he had 4 daughters with. But Apparently, his father remarried after his mother died tho. He married a woman who had two sons, who she prioritized more. And therefore he got little of his father's inheritance, but it was still a very large sum. He later gave all the land he owned to other Serbian soldiers after the second world war.

This would be helpful if I wasn't Pakistani. If you don't get it. They did NOT do records when it comes to trying to find my Ancestors so the only way to find them is DNA which my dad is refusing to let me get-
That sucks, there are a lot of cultures that did not keep written records. I'm guessing you're a minor, so you can do the DNA when you turn 18. it does depend though, as far as find close family, if family has also done the DNA and uploaded to ancestry or one of the other sites.
Are you Punjabi? I’ve gotten back to 20 generations, and many Punjabis do too. If your people were from that area then you can find records easily since they documented everything.
