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.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.

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.

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind. — Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
