Just out of curiosity. I don’t have a real need for this.

So I’ve been trying to find info on my great-grandparents but after snooping around in ancestry.com and familysearch.com I realise there are no records for any of my parents, grandparents or great grandparents online. At least not on those sites.

And so I’m here wondering, what happened with those records? Anyone had any luck searching elsewhere? I’ve tried googling the names and nothing comes up either. Hooray for privacy I guess?

    I did familysearch.org (the Mormons), free and it’s great at tracing back documented lines to Europe, dead ends on any native or island ancestry but what I realized doing it is that trying to say you have some sort of bloodline is utter nonsense, we all have too many ancestors for that to be true.

    They won’t push records for anyone living either, so you would need names for dead ancestors.
