You will not find a Family Tree just hanging around. You may find branches of the tree though. Roots web, Family Tree, and several other may have what you want. Your family tree begins with you, then your parents. Get Birth Dates, Marriage, Certificates for your parents, their parents, and their parents. Keep working backwards one person at a time. You should consider organizing with software, there are some free, and some really good ones for about $30.00.
