Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey Poohbear,

You can find your ancestors on the internet in hundreds of ways. There are web sites dedicated to locations for Vital Records at cities throughout the world. There are specialty sites for every aspect of genealogy, including some Family Trees already put together (would be a branch on your tree possibly), and by Surname.

First you start with vital records of those closest to you, then branch out and back. One person at a time. Here are some great places to start with.

LDS Family Search, search for birth and death records, free. Ellis Island, immigration to the USA. GENFORUM, talk to people with an interest in a specific surname. Cindi's list, a list of lists for places, special interests, countries, records, just about anything to do with Genealogy.

When you get setteled into looking, get some software to get organized too.
