Welcome to Looking 4 Kin Genealogy and Family History Network

If you have been to Looking 4 Kin in the past you may notice a big change in the format from what was set up in 2004 to the new format here in the past couple of months.

We believe there are great possibilities here for sharing information and communicating with family and friends. This is a great social site to just discuss your family history, to try and trace your ancestors or to ask questions about genealogy research, to ask for advice or a lookup.

Click on the My Home Page tab at the top of this page. Here you can change your name, the color and layout of your page, add your photo, put more information on the names you are researching. It is your page to alter however you want as long as it is kept genealogy related. When done here head on over to the groups and start joining and posting.
