This site is intended to help those people who are researching their family tree and have managed to find basic information but want to know what else they can find out about their ancestors !

There is masses of detailed information on the Internet about specific areas of genealogy  so this site does not aim to provide all there is to know about family history but it does provide you with what you need to know and points you towards reliable sources of information on that subject.

The advice provided allows you to use the  basic techniques that professional genealogists would follow not only online on the internet but  with archives and record offices.

Many sites providing  detailed family history information charge for access. Marshland are happy to provide this site free of charge for the foreeable future.

Even with common sources such as the Census and BMD certificates for birth,marriage and death there are ways that you can maximise your searches and make more use of basic information about your ancestors, their occupations and pedigrees.

Although it is related to England much of the material will help those looking in other parts of the United Kingdom.

Good luck in your search from Find Out Who You Are.
