How do I look at online records without having to pay at all for them?

March 15th, 2011 1 comment

I’m doing family history research, and I’ve been trying to look up birth, death, marriage, etc records. Every site I go to you have to pay SOMETHING for them. I want FREE online records that I can look at ONLINE without having to pay or get them shipped to my house.

My Mom said to look at court houses, but I can’t find our court houses online.
I live in Mississippi, but I’m looking for records in Pemiscot County of Missouri. That’s where most of my family moved to in the 1900’s on my Dad’s side. On my Mom’s side, I have no clue. Probably Tennessee because they were full Cherokee Indians. And she is half Cherokee Indian.

My Great Aunt has done my Dad’s side of the familys history all the way back to before the civial war, but she’s too picky to share with me any of it.

Anyway, if anyone knows a completely free website where you can look at ONLINE records, then please tell me. And remember NO PAYMENTS. NONE. lol. Most people that answer me always give me a website and they still have some kind of a payment on there. And I don’t want to have to pay anything at all.

There is a site called Heritage Quest that is completely free, but you must get the access code from your public library. Call the library and ask if they subscribe to Heritage Quest and how to access it. You do this online from home, but most libraries require you to have a library card to get the access code.

Ok so my papaw died a couple of years ago…I never met him…its my dads dad and my dad wasnt in my life….
well I was wondering is there anyway I can find out where he was buried?
If I live in Tennessee is there anyway I can get ahold of someone to tell me death records in texas?
I believe thats where he was buried im not sure though.

If you knew what Funeral Home he went to then maybe you could see if they have a copy of his Death Certificate. Try to Google his name cuz nowadays they can put your obit online & if its on there read the survivors on there to see if there is a name that you recognize or if maybe you had a general area of where you think he might be buried at check the Funeral Homes/Cemeteries around there to see if someone by that name is buried there at the cemetery. Im sorry if I couldn’t help you
