Searching big ancestry and genealogy sites that have large databases is sometimes not enough to find those elusive ancestors. This is one reason why researching family history and genealogy offline is just as important as using online tools. One of the biggest reasons why you continue to search for months and still can’t find your 3 times great uncle online is because records of his life aren’t online at all. Are you guilty of any of them? Why You Can’t Find Your Ancestors Online 1. These common genealogy research mistakes may be prohibiting you from finding your ancestors online. The even better news is that if you cannot find your ancestor online, most likely will find your ancestor offline in any of the over 2,000 archives worldwide where they do research. The good news is that by simply changing the way you search for your ancestors can save you even more frustration and discouragement when you hit those genealogy brick walls. When you’re unsuccessful at conducting an online search for an ancestor, it can be due to a number of reasons. But what if you continue to painstakingly search online for an ancestor, and are repeatedly unsuccessful? The most frustrating part is when you know that this person exists, so you’re left wondering, “Why can’t I find anything about him/her?” Whether you’ve opted to search online census records, library collections, or Flickr for old family photos, you’ve likely found some ancestors along the way. Researching your family’s history has become increasingly easier thanks to the power of the internet.
