Site of the Month
The first place to start researching your family tree is usually Family Search.
Lots of records at your fingertips and lots of cousins working on the same tree. Although you dont want to build your tree there, its a good starting point and a very useful site when you are short on cash. However, people who dont know what they are doing can change your family tree and mess it up and add the wrong people. Great for research. Not so good for your tree. Put it somewhere else. Ancestry is a good place to build your tree and no one can mess it up when you are not looking. These coop sites are great for collaborations, but be wary of them and keep your records elsewhere.
