if didn't mention country, , didn't go yahoo! 1 of international sub-sites, can't tell if in usa, uk, canada or australia. i'm in usa , links it.

if in usa,
, of ancestors in usa,
, can library or fhc census access,
, white
can of ancestors alive in 1850 100 - 300 hours of research. can 1870 if black, sadly. many people stop reading here , pick hobby.

no web site going tell how great grandparents decorated christmas tree ornaments cut tin foil during depression, how great uncle elmer wooed wife banjo, or how uncle john paid way through college in 1960's smuggling herbs. talk living relatives before late.

won't find living people on genealogy sites. you'll have people living in 1930 or talking relatives, looking obituaries , forth.

finally, not read on internet true. have cautious , @ people's sources. cross-check , verify.

warnings. here main link.

page has links, plus tips , hints on how use sites, dozen huge free sites. having 1 link here in answer , dozen links on personal site gets around 2 problems. first, y!a limits 10 links in answer. second, if 1 or more of links popular, "we're taking breather" when try post answer. bug introduced sometime in august 2008 "new look".

need tips. instance, beginners either put data rwwc query page, or mistake ancestry ads @ top query form. used teach class on internet genealogy @ library. watched mistakes beginners made. query forms on sites tricky.
