TJ, there are many things online that are free.. among them, the BEST are those which explain how genealogy works, and what you need to do. To confirm your connection will involve TWO things.. that is, verifying your own actual ancestors, THEN look to see if there is info about either Rocky or Nicola. OK?
YOUR documents depend on what your family may or may not already have. This is the core of genealogy. Things like birth or death certificates. For example.. say that your dad remembers his grandfather Sacco, but not sure exactly when he was born or died. Those are details. If you know when he died (maybe from an online source), then you look for more, like his obituary, or census records to show WHO were his brothers/sisters, parents, etc.
If you have to order these, they do cost. The US census (which counts everyone) is open to research up until 1930. Only one place (ancestry) has ALL of that. An alternative is to check at your local library. Some have subscriptions for you to use. It just means you have to go there to use it.

You might want to try this website http://www.familysearch.org/, they have a lot of information and they have a free software program called PAF or Personal Ancestry File. You can also go to a LDS church during certain hours and there are people there who can help you find your ancestors. They have what are known as Family History Centers so you can go into one of those at specific times and people will help. You can locate them at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/...
