    You can check the following sites:

    freepages.genealogy.rootsweb

    LDS family history center

    deadfred

    findagrave

    all are free sites, and you can often find tons of info there.

    I finally joined Ancestry.com, it was the cheapest, and gave me lots of bang for my bucks.

    good luck, and have fun!!!!! Just be ready for all the time you'll spend on the computer!!

    Family tree is a good program, but you can also download one for free from the LDS site. (you do NOT need to be Mormon to do this!)

    Source(s): Experience x 30 years trying to do this! I have 6 different trees to research! Above websites listed.
