Caution: If you are not already sucked into Ancestry.com it will hook you in no time flat! That said, get the free trial subscription, enter as much as you possibly can from the on-line 'clues' during your subscription, then CANCEL your subscription (very important, this is one of those sites that will automatically recharge your credit card every month unless you take action). THEN, go back and clean up your entries, add photos, stories if you have any, etc. You can access your family tree without a paid subscription, you just can't use their web services. Once you are at kind of a dead end with what you have, then subscribe again for a month or so, and again remember to CANCEL. I subscribe more frequently during the rainy months when I am trapped indoors and less so during summer months. Every once in a while, they run a special that is very cost effective for I think 6 months for $50 (regular price is $20/month). It's a fun web site (for me).
