Ok, so it's not 100% kilt related, but I have seen posts in here regarding genealogy. I am wondering if there are any good sites where one can search for immigration records, or find birth certificates and all that good stuff.
I theoretically (still verifying names, although everything seems to fit... Logan county AR) have my grandmother's family lines drawn back to the early, early 1800s, but that's where I run dry. One distant (apparently) ancestor was born in TN, but his father was from NC, nothing was said of when, or if he was an immigrant or not, or even a name on the record I found. This was through the LDS database, so all was done on free sources. I am thinking that a paid genealogist would do a much better job. If I have the right line, there is even a family cemetary in somewhere in Logan Co. I am sure I could locate it in some fashion, but a road trip for headstone rubbings is not an option at this point. This is fun stuff, but it isn't necessarily easy. I cannot even find solid records on my grandfather's side of things, I think the names are just too common: Green, and Moore... there are a ton of them, especially in the southern states.

Moderators, if you feel this would be better served in a different forum, by all means move it, but please do not delete it.
