Your family has said it for years. In two minutes, you'll know if it can even be true.
You'd like it to be true, and you'd rather not admit how much. These were your people, somebody ought to know who they really were, and if you don't do it, who will?
He had no biological children. Nobody descends from him.
His last undisputed descendant died in 1985.
Ten children. Your story could well be true.
Look up the name. Two minutes.
One question, free records, from your own chair.
True, not proven or false, and the two words to say at the table.
Typical published prices, which vary.
Then you'll be the one person who knows, and you'll have your real people written down. The worse outcome is passing a mistake on to your grandchildren.
You're at exactly the right age. You remember people nobody else does, and that gets harder to recover every year you leave it.
Your first answer takes no computer at all. You look up a name in a large-print book. After that it's one search box, explained in plain English.
That's how false links spread. Family trees get copied from one person to the next, and a copied mistake looks just like a fact. This book shows you how to tell them apart.
Usually not. A test can't prove a link to someone famous, it costs more than this book, and it can turn up family surprises you didn't ask for.
Because knowing where to look is what costs time. A genealogist charges $50 to $200 an hour for that.
That's what your family has been doing for a hundred years. Your first answer takes two minutes.
Large-print PDF, yours in minutes. One payment, nothing else to buy.
