Have you taken up genealogy as a hobby and you are becoming frustrated because you・ve suddenly realized the project isn・t nearly as easy as you thought it would be? You・re not alone, many people jump head first into building family trees or history books, only to discover that beyond their immediate family, they know little else about their other relatives. If you need to fill in the missing pieces to the relations puzzle, it・s always a good idea to ask others, such as your parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.; about the person whose facts you・re missing because they may know.
However, this may not always be possible. In example, if you wanted to know where your great auntie was from, there could be a number of circumstances that would prevent you from finding this out. You may discover that no one who is still living knows the answer; you may have been told the name of different birth places from more than one person and are confused; or you may be recording the family history as a gift to someone and you don・t want them to know about it. Regardless of what the reason may be, if you are having trouble finding out where your great aunt grew up, a simple online search using a public record directory may be all you need.
How do I run this hunt? You log on to the Internet, and using a search engine lookup the keyword public records search, vital record directory, etc. Choose a few of the web results that are returned so you can look into these sites and research them a bit before you make any find decisions to use it. If after reading the F.A.Q・s, ：About Us； section, checking up on the guarantee, security, and comparing prices (these searches are not free), you find a website you trust, and you can then begin your search. Searching involves looking up the person・s first and last name, city, and state and birth date (Note: only the full name is required).
Will I learn any other information aside from discovering where my great aunt was born? Certainly! If you are able to find your relative・s birth records online you will discover her:
- Place of birth
- Date of birth
- Names of parents
- Name of other family members
- Any announcements that were made when she was born
Once I know where my great, great aunt was born, can I lookup other relatives without paying again, or do I have to pay for each investigation separately? Most sites that have directories usually offer those who wish to join the chance to pay a flat rate for unlimited searches for a limited time, while others will charge a very, very small monthly fee for non-stop searching.

A secret gate of the sultan's palace suddenly opened, and there came out of it twenty women, in the midst of whom walked the sultaness, who was easily distinguished from the rest by her majestic air. This princess thinking that the king of Tartary was gone a-hunting with his brother the sultan, came with her retinue near the windows of his apartment. For the prince had so placed himself that he could see all that passed in the garden without being perceived himself. He observed, that the persons who accompanied the sultaness threw off their veils and long robes, that they might be more at their ease, but he was greatly surprised to find that ten of them were black men, and that each of these took his mistress. The sultaness, on her part, was not long without her gallant. She clapped her hands, and called "Masoud, Masoud," and immediately a black descended from a tree, and ran towards her with great speed.
Modesty will not allow, nor is it necessary, to relate what passed between the blacks and the ladies. It is sufficient to say, that Shaw-zummaun saw enough to convince him, that his brother was as much to be pitied as himself. This amorous company continued together till midnight, and having bathed together in a great piece of water, which was one of the chief ornaments of the garden, they dressed themselves, and re-entered the palace by the secret door, all except Masoud, who climbed up his tree, and got over the garden wall as he had come in.
These things having passed in the king of Tartary's sight, filled him with a multitude of reflections. "How little reason had I," said he, "to think that none was so unfortunate as myself? It is surely the unavoidable fate of all husbands, since even the sultan my brother, who is sovereign of so-many dominions, and the greatest prince of the earth, could not escape. Such being the case, what a fool am I to kill myself with grief? I am resolved that the remembrance of a misfortune so common shall never more disturb my peace."
