NEED help Locating yr Ancestors other Descendants?
If u need to find some relatively recent people, say last 100 years info, you can try to find an unknown descendant of one of ur ancestors in the last known town lived, or greatest population of that NAME nearby (google maps, or State County Maps, are great for that)
u can get lots of current and recently deceased Descendant/ancestor info like names, relatives, addresses and even ages (ouch) from the 2 web sites.
library reference personel(if u can call LD),and u can get the phone number from yp and wp online, are usually quite accomodating on getting phone # and addresses for the last NAME in the county requested.Be nice and appreciative and try to call before 3 when school gets out.
white pages and yp.com arent as inclusive as they used to be but the sites that advertise on them(u dont have to pay for alot of info) give u lots of relevant and helpful info.
Just search Yp.com or whitepages.com for the last name only in the town or county ur looking for.U will get a list and then u will get the 3rd party advertiser trying to hook u.
U dont have to pay to get some info usually.
Intelius out of YP, for instance, will give u 130 yr olds, 126 yr olds, date of birth see...1881, 1885...get it?you can do alot of free genealogy that way.
Its great if u need to make sure where someone passed's last address was.
white pages and peoplesearch will give u related to so u can figure out bros sis' parents etc.
Keep in mind they often have duplicate names for ourdated phone numbers but thats also good as u may not find them in the town they were raised in currently but if u have their old one, then, you may have an ancestry connection...
I try all 4 cuz each one doesnnt give u all....
Out of the 4 phone numbers I recently called each one was a descendant of our commnon grgrgrgrandfather and they helped me fill in some tree blanks, we exchanged stories, and more importantly, I got some new family!!!
well, email me if u found this helpful. I like to know that Im not wasting my time.....
Post your tips!
good luck and happy hunting
