Have you looked on www.rootsweb.com, there is a lot of information on their website, a lot of it is unreliable, but if you look at the notes, sources and other information, you can sort some of it out. You can also also refine your search to a particluar individual by using the sort block at the bottom of the name information page, (this will be the second page).

After about 1500 the search becomes much more difficult, but if you are fortunate and your name ties into one of the better documented and more famous lines, you will find lots of information. Again just be sure to look at the sources and documentation for the information presented. Documentation is everything in genealogy.

Happy Hunting!
