Most of our sites here on Frugal Genealogy are going to be free sites to use for genealogy. If it is a paid site it is there only because you will be able to search the site and get a little information for free.
Pixlr: The most recent site we found was a photo editing site called Pixlr. This site you can scan those old negatives you have and then switch them to a photo to use digitized or to print out all for free. You don't even have to download any software to use this as it is used right from the site itself. This is also great for some of us who collect vintage photos from flea markets and garage sales. Some only have the negative or tins for sale. So this will be a great program to use to bring these back to life. Maybe with your help some may even find their way back home where they belong.
Newspapers: If you look on the right hand side of our site here you will see a link for Newspapers. These are free sites to look up newspapers that are digitized online. You can find obituaries, wedding announcements, birth announcements and just any kind of news. Most places back in the day would post in their local paper who was visiting who and if they were going or coming back from a trip. Some even had announcements of divorces or even criminal news. The links we have are not the only ones out there as we will be adding more as we find more. You can always help by commenting down below or at our facebook page if you find any free sites we don't have listed.
Speaking of our site check out the right hand side for other links to many sites where you can find free information for researching. As always if a link is broken just let us know on our facebook page and we will fix it as soon as possible.
