Birth, marriage and church records, wills, tax records, family bibles, census records and a number of other sources such as DNA tests......can provide evidence of a person's relatives.

My father operates our "Easterling Family Genealogical Society, Inc." and has used all of the above mentioned sources to determine over 20,000 familiar relationships.

He also makes use of the extensive records maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) in Utah, even though he is a Southern Baptist.

The EFGS's most recent efforts have utilized DNA test results to establish proof positive of "blood" relatives of our American family members with those who live in England.

I edited the first edition of our 1,000+ page "Easterling Family History Book" which was published in 1990 and quickly found that about half of one's relatives do not have the same "last name" because the female "blood" relative's names change when they marry.

Without blood tests? Tax records. Parents generally claim their children as dependents and have to list the social security number on the 1040.

Trace their two family trees!one way to find out if two people are related is to trace each of their family trees! if the two trees show a common (the same) ancestor then the two people are related although it might be quite a distant relationship.

There are a number of methods to determine if two people are related. Public records (birth certificates, marriage and church records, wills, tax records, family bibles, census records, etc.) have traditionally been used to identify a connection. More recently, DNA tests have provided a more scientific method of identifying a shared genetic background. Learn more at 23andme.com.

Ask them. Ask your parents or other relatives. Research your ancestry in the archives, and the other person's, and see if you have a common ancestor. If so, then you are related.

How can you find out if someone famous is related to you?

If your parents and other relatives are unable to tell you whether you are related to someone famous (and most of us are not related to someone famous), the only way for you to find out whether you are is to do the research. Find out as many of your ancestors as you can, figure out who their descendants are, who they married, etc., and then figure out if any of those people are famous. Unless you are very, very lucky, you will not find a listing on the internet of famous people you are related to - unless, perhaps, you yourself are famous.
