Your surname is an integral part in genealogy research. Are you curious to find out more about that surname?

Many sites, such as Ancestry.com, offer surname searches that reveal clues and hints about your ancestors. Sites like these also allow you to search Civil War records, immigration records and more. Find out facts such as: Civil War service, immigration date, life expectancy, newspaper headlines, occupation, place of origin and ports of departure.

It is a fun way to find out more about your ancestors. You will have to pay for these findings but sites like the above may also offer a free trial period. Prices range from a little over $12 a month to almost $30 a month, depending on the package you select.
