When you want to try ancestry I recommend your local library. Most libraries also have geneaology groups that will help you get started. My father is a geneaology nut. To the point of our trip to London was spent in the reading room of the British Museum and a couple of private libraries. But then again my family was started by a minor noble getting a holding courtesy of William the Conqueror. Now we are delving into my mother's side which is full of skeletons and founding families. A good way to search family records is through the Latter Day Saints and if you transcribe census or draft cards you get unprecedented access to their extensive records for free.
