OK, I have a confession to make. I am cheap. I clip coupons, hunt sales, scour the clearance racks and LOVE freebies. And I like to call myself "The Cheapskate Genealogist". Everyone knows how the economy is, and money is tight, for everyone. Right now I am not ashamed to admit I do all my research for the family tree for free. Yes, you read that right, FREE. I use as many free websites and my public library to find as much as I can. I have, in 3 years, not paid for a subscription to any website. That's because right now I cannot afford it. But it must be said, there are plenty of good, free sites out there. And many of them rely on user information input. A really good one is findagrave.com. If you know where someone is buried you can add a memorial page for them, although knowing the burial location is is not manditory. They even have pages for celebrities and you can add flowers and notes to any page. All you need to do is register for free. Next time I'll gush about one of my favorite free sites...until next time.
Keep branching out!
