What website really has free information on public records?

if you'd list where you want to research it would be MUCH easier - certain states offer free records, but I won't list them, unless I get a location, because this answer would be stupid long.



i will list a couple of sites that are completely free %26amp; nationwide.



1. http://search.labs.familysearch.org/reco鈥?/a>



you have to register - give them an email addy %26amp; a password, but that is all. they have the 1880 %26amp; 1900 US census records, Ellis Island records (which you can also find at ellisisland.org. you can view %26amp; save if you register, also for free but you can't download them), WW2 draft registrations, %26amp; other assorted records, such as death records from a few states, marriage records, probate, etc.



2. http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/serv鈥?/a>



burial records for US vets buried nationwide before 1997.



3. http://www.abmc.gov/home.php



burial records for US vets buried overseas



4. findagrave.com



burial records for any %26amp; everyone, sometimes with obits - this is a volunteer site, so you might get lucky or not, depending if anyone has posted the individuals you're looking for, but with 21 million records, the odds are decent.



5. www.familysearch.org/



LDS records - again it's luck of the draw.



6. http://www.jewishgen.org



these are mostly records from Europe, useful if you're have Jewish ancestry from Europe - must register, email %26amp; password.



7. http://rootsweb.com/



will give you access to the social security death records.



8. for general records on living individual's



i like http://zabasearch.com/ in conjuction with www.Intelius.com - both want money, but intelius will give you a rough age %26amp; listing of relatives, while zabrasearch will give an address %26amp; phone number, if you're lucky.



%26amp; that's all i've got for completely free, without a location. if you give a location or are willing to do a bit of work - ie go to the library %26amp; get a thumb drive, you can view ancestry.com for free - they have one of the largest genealogy records of anyone %26amp; you download them on the thumb drive %26amp; you're good to go.



good luck.

For free, check out http://www.crimcheck.com , they have an extensive free public records section.



But since you would have to do the research yourself which can lead to missing out on information, I would recomend http://www.easybackgroundchecks.com , they offer statewide background checks for $15. They also offer nationwide background checks for $30
I too, tried to find public records without having to pay a fee.



Very frustrating.....



You might run across the information you are looking for free, but you will waste a lot of precious time searching.



There is a reason why public records aren't readily available online for free.



I found a great source to educate myself on finding people by searching public records.

I don't think there are any free to search websites for public records. The only completely free website that I know of is www.familysearch.org its excellent.

Dont know what state you are from, But for wisconsin I always google wisconsin court access. I would think it would be the same for any state.
