Any help in finding my Dad's side of the family would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry I do not have more dates..
I recently found a second cousin who did her side of the family which would have been my Grandmother's side. so I need my Grandfather's side now.. I am sorry if I have misspelled anyone's name.
I do not even know where to look.. How to look.. where there are any free pages that do not take me back to the paid Ancestory.com pages.. Even the Italian pages on the net bring us back to Ancestory and I can not afford to pay for membership right now.
Heavy sigh.. why does everything have to cost.. geesh...
Thanks for any help...
