Genealogy Chat

Good afternoon

Sometime ago I used a search page, where if you typed in a name it would link you to their families, i.e. parents and siblings so on.

For the life of me I cannot remember what the page was called and wondered if anyone would have a clue as to what i'm on about .

Many thanks
Samantha

Try googling the person's name and see what comes up.

Doing that with a name at random from my tree brought up the kind of result you mention on geni.com and myheritage.com., among others.

It doesn't work if you go straight to the website, as you need a sub.

Thank you ArgyllGran I shall give this a go x

Samantha - please note I edited my post while you were replying.

I thought it was free BMD that I used.

Freebmd only has transcriptions of the BMD index.

Look at it to find out

What are you trying to do?

Hello ErikaH

I'm looking on that site at the moment.

A few years ago I was using a site where as you typed a family name in and it would connect to possibly family members moving backwards to trace, but I just cant seem to remember the site name.

The only one I know of which does anything remotely like that is Ancestry

I will have to see if I have any paperwork to dig out that might have this information, its driving me crazy lol :-S

Perhaps submitted records in n Familysearch.org ?

I'm still trying to find the old paperwork that I had from back then that might tell me the website I was using.

Really getting to me now :-D

Connected with the search on the following thread, I would think.
And if it was, the info was almost all inaccurate,
