I've been wanting to trace my family tree for ages but I have no idea how to do it. I know nothing about my dads side of the family which is the one I'm trying to trace and I can't ask him for help because my mother ¬¬ hated my nan so I hate asking about her because I don't think he likes talking about her. Does anyone know any websites (free ones since I'm completly), computer programs or anything like that where I could start?

websites will all charge. I've tried it before. tracing a family history without using your family costs money.

That really sucks, a friend told me to go to record places but I have no idea where to find those.

Let me tell you about my broken family tree...
My mom is adopted.. My father's side ... mmm I only know I came somewhere from an ancient royal family/ background. 11 or 12th generation.. But the family tree. I think I'll need to go back to China to find out.. When? I don't know

Yeah...where do you live? In UK, you may have to go to London or someplace to find the National Archives, or House of Records, or something. i.e. A lot of people here go to the Nebraska State Archives, because it has census records/family trees/lists of names.

you know, it's so hard to trace your family history. And i have one advice for you: Be PATIENT.
I live not because God wants me to. But because I have the will to go on.LIFE IS HARD. And I don't know why. And I don't plan to understand.
