     Membership Matters!

We had three years where our membership dues stay at $15.00/year, less than 5 cents per day even though our costs to run the site increased every year. This coming year, 2011, I would have to tap into my personal resources to cover expenses and because I live on a fixed income (retired), I cannot do that and regrettably I am forced to increase our membership dues.

Beginning in January 2011 the new yearly dues will be $18.00.  That is only a $3.00 increase and STILL  less than 5 cents per day and ALWAYS less than the competition with much more documents and data that will help you in your research. As a reminder, annual dues go toward covering a number of operational expenses (server, password protection, etc) but my work of gathering data, travelling expenses, transcribing, etc. continues to be

We thank you for reading this message and hope you understand our position and continue to support our efforts.

Welcome to the 1940 Census!!

That I know off, two sites will have it. Right now, I see that NARA have it already online and is FREE. Ancestry, for a $ fee company,  have some states already loaded but Puerto Rico is not among them.

Here are the links for you to explore:

Ancestry - http://www.ancestry.com/
NARA - http://1940census.archives.gov/

On a personal note, I will let the initial and unavoidable gridlock pass and then I will dive into it. This might and might not be my last census to review as the next, the 1950 will be out in 2022. By then, I will be 77 yrs. old and probably will be experiencing OLD age bigger problems. Will see......

Good Luck!

IMPORTANT!
------o-------
We are not an investigative service - we merely supply information so you can do your own genealogical research. We regret that we cannot answer queries about specific surnames.

Searching For Our Roots has been publishing unique information and offering innovative services since 1999.

The purpose of this site is to share with you family and genealogical information available to us. The information found on this site is primarily from Puerto Rico. However, many other nationalities can be found through out the site. We hope that you find information here that fills in some blanks in your research.

This site offers a selection of both free and for members databases (clearly marked with a red key or red dollar sign $). How much does it cost to join? Pennies a day but we do NOT encourage people to subscribe without first searching the databases, reviewing the different subjects under the Navigation Menu on the right and/or visiting the Sitemap for a complete listing of what's available. Then, you can make a wiser decision.

This is an evolving project and new material is being added on a constant basis. Please do not be offended if the topic you are looking for is not here. It does not mean that it has been overlooked, it just means that I have not gotten that far yet. So if you don't find what you are looking for today, be sure and drop by again soon.

This site is funded by membership fees only and is an advertisement-free zone! No pop-ups, no spam.
