Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you are willing to pay a fee, the most thorough site I have found and my preferred site is ancestry!.com!. (You can obtain a free trial)!. Otherwise there are many genealogical sites that are free such as:
http://www!.familysearch!.org/eng/default!.!.!.!. FamilySearch!.org is a non-profit service sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!. You can also download free software that will help you keep your family tree organized!.
http://usgenweb!.org/!. This site has been created by a group of volunteers that are committed to keep genealogy free and have provided a website for genealogical research in every county and state in the United States!.
http://rwguide!.rootsweb!.ancestry!.com/!. RootsWeb is also a great site!. It’s funded by Ancestry!.com!. It provides links to ton’s of additional sites as well!.
http://www!.ellisisland!.org/genealogy/ind!.!.!. !. Ellis Island Foundation, Inc!. Genealogy Learning Center!. This site has also has some great getting started tips and free downloadable charts and forms!.
http://www!.cyndislist!.com/!. Cindy’s List has just about everything from A to Z!. I would highly recommend visiting this site!.

If you’re just getting started, before beginning an on-line search, I recommend that you gather up all the information you can from family members about your family history so you can narrow your search!. A great site to help you begin learning how to research and organize the information you collect and gather is http://www!.findingdulcinea!.com/guides/Fa!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I recommend www!.geni!.com

It's totally free!. You can easily build your own family tree, download pictures, add personal information and facts about everyone in your family!.

I just started my own family tree on geni!.com and it is very user friendly!. I'm still discovering new things each time I get on the site!.

Obviously, you'll have to have some information about your family already to start building your tree!.!.!.!.but once you start, you'll know what information you are missing and can ask family members for help in completing it!.

Tip: Keep a note book that you can write notes, record new info!. and also to make a list of "needed" info!. about your relatives!. Then, when you contact someone about information that is needed, you can have it all there in front of you!.

I'd like to think that some day, someone in my family will be interested in who I was as a person!.!.!.!.what my interests were, where I lived, what kinds of things I did, and maybe even if they take after me!.

Good luck! I'm glad you're interested in Genealogy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
