The Mormon site lets you search for free. I was able on my mothers side to trace back one branch of the family tree to the 1700's....easy to trace if your grandparents were not born in American. Lots of info from foreign born....my grandparents (maternal) went from Ireland to Canada to America.....

I learned one ancestors death was recorded as the Atlantic Ocean, must have been on a ship that went down....

Searching my fathers side was more difficult, his family had been here since before the civil war...getting information from the states is quite difficult....

Someone sent my father a copy of his genealogy because his name was on one of the branches of the family tree they searched....The only way for me to get any info was to go to the county seat where he was born and microfiche the records....

Do you have a link to the Mormon site, or what it’s called so I can google it? I really would like to know which Stewart clan I belonged to. On my mother’s maternal side they were Jones. Not sure if that is English or Irish. On my mother’s paternal side......yep, Indian. Not Cherokee though (ha). My great grandfather was full Creek. The only thing I got from him was straight black hair. The rest of me is pure Scots-Irish or whatever.
