For those who are interested in finding out about their ancestors and how to begin here are some very helpful sites. Some free some are not but at least they can point you in the right direction:
Ancestry. com
Ancestry you do have to have a paid subscription for. I have had my account for years now even though I no longer have a subscription.
RootsWeb
This is a free to search site. You can search the SSDI ( Social Security Death Index ), other peoples family trees and info and many other things. You can even volunteer!
Family Search
This has been my most rewarding site as I have volunteered to do indexing for them. I have been indexing draft cards from WWI and WWII, US Census and other things. It's a great way to give back and help preserve the information for future generations.
There are many more sites I use and I will be adding those also and some that aren't so great that maybe you have come across.
