    How will MyHeritage subscribers benefit from your recent agreement with FamilySearch? Do they have tools that may be useful in my research?

      Hi,

      FamilySearch will be sharing with MyHeritage a massive number of international records and family tree profiles which are key to researching family history. These include all profiles of deceased individuals from the FamilySearch Family Tree (about 1 billion profiles), and a large selection of global historical records (about 1.2 billion additional records).

      This will give MyHeritage users many more records to search from at !

    I have a great grandfather who was supposedly from Sweden. H lived in Moline,Ill and traveled working on the railroad out west. He met my great grandmother and married her in Plumas Co Ca in 1907. They moved to Idaho where they lived until his death in 1949. I have census records but they are all have different birth places on them for him, I also have a copy of his marriage certificate on which says he was born in Sweden. I cannot track to the correct family and where. His name supposedly was Albert Anderson and he was born approx. 1872. How can I connect him to the right family? On his death record it says his father was Axel Anderson and his mother was Sophia Anderson. I have been trying to figure this out for years. I need help.

    Thanks

    Hi Kathy, I can fully relate to your dilemma . I too have a great-grandfather whose name I carry and have run into the proverbial brick wall. Every census record I find him listed each has a different place of birth, parents place of birth is different as well. I have thought about purchasing his death certificate but that info is only as good as what the person answering the question knew at the time. Also, there is no guarantee the information will appear on the certificate and no refunds. Other branches I can go back 500 + years. Good luck on your search !
