mclasitteriii is my Ancestry.com UserId, and if you already have an Ancestry account, clicking on that link should put you in touch with me.

My Lasitter / Lassiter Descendants NC & VA is my public tree on Ancestry so feel free to take a look around there if you like. If you see something that's wrong, I'd love to hear from you!

I give lots of money to Ancestry every year just for the convenience, but with all the good free genealogy web sites out there, I don't recommend it for everyone.

Ancestry does offer Free Registered Guest Accounts and while they're limited compared to the paid accounts, they are certainly better than nothing!

Just do a web search on "free genealogy" and you'll end up with more hits than you might ever be able to check out. One organization that is free and has long been respected in the genealogy community is Familysearch.org The folks there (LDS Church) have constructed a ginormous tree that is already there and ready to link your grandparents into. You take care of a couple of recent generations and "whoosh" ... your tree is basically done for you.

This "family tree by committee" produces a result that is much more accurate than many of the family trees you see on Ancestry. It's both a great strength and a weakness of Ancestry that there can be thousands of family trees available for a person in question. People go to Ancestry because they want it "my way". And because of the advertising, of course.
