Is this one of those freebies that involve giving your credit card details & start charging if you dont cancel ?

Does anyoe know how you can search for a long lost parent? I'm looking for my mum. Nobody knows anything of her - (so they say!) These are great links but only seem to be able to find deceased people.
Thanks loads though!

You have to go to the relevent record offices to find earlier records or go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/familyhistory/ and use there message board for help and useful tips on getting started. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! hopefully i can get somewhere - i am taking a massive (quivering) step in doing this!

Ps. i would click the thanks button for ya but mine doesnt seem to work for some strange reason - i think something to do with cookies or firewall but not sure how to change it.

Lots of thanks again!!!

I managed to trace my family back to 1650's through free genealogy sites, the ones listed plus https://www.mytrees.com which you can get loads of info for free from if you're willing to trawl through page after to page looking for dates, names, etc...

But I was also lucky in the fact that my surname is quite unusual and after going back a few generations I was able to tap in to someone elses research and then someone elses, just by typing my name into google.....also found out from Google (from a local paper) that my great, great and a few more times great grandfather and sons were Luddites and were imprisoned for wrecking a threshing machine....I thought it was great, dad was a bit embarrased..LOL...
