The second place to search and see if others have posted their information about our ancestors is
www.rootsweb.com
Looking under
Family Trees (World Connect)
one can see
Search Family Trees
This is the place to put in the name of the person we are looking for.
Now if one wrote, Fredrick Brown they would get a list of family trees with various Fred Brown's. If they wrote Iowa as his death place they would narrow results down and among those results would be the family tree I have uploaded.
These family trees are fun to look through and can offer info [always look for real sources to see if the info is true], plus, the person who uploaded the family tree might have left their email for further contact.
This is a free database [sponsored by Ancestry.com] that relies on volunteers uploading their GEDCOMs.
If you use family tree software to record your family findings then you are able to create a GEDCOM and can upload it to sites like these.
