My strongest suggestion is that you stop looking for "family tree" sites, and start looking for genealogical sites.  Cyndi has collected thousands of them over the last 10 yrs.  I have researched over 25 yrs, and the only "fee" site I have ever used is Ancestry.com... and I only signed up for that in the last 6 months.. and primarily use it for helping people here. It has ALL US census records, which are a backbone to your research.

Genealogy does not require uploading your information to any web site.  It requires FINDING SPECIFIC RECORDS, concerning your actual ancestors.. ALL of those records will have existed prior to the invention of the computer, and many of them are not online today, and never will be. What is online, is just the tip of the iceberg.

You may or may not find relatives online, who have also researched your same ancestors.  Any family "tree" on the internet is not a record.. it is a database/file of someone's conclusions, and in many cases.. their conclusions are faulty, and based on nothing more than someone ELSE'S statements.  You may also find that the best research is in a notebook, with an older relative who went to the courthouse/cemetery, so forth, before there were computers, and what they have IS original sources.  

There are many good files on the internet as well.  The point that I think is critical is for you to know what research is, how it can be done without relying on other's research.  This way.. when you find five different files online, all of which claim different parents for the same man, you will know how to spot what research is faulty, and why.

This is a good site but most info is patron submitted stuff should be verified. Some individual submissions are from original documents and were submitted through the extraction program. At least, it culd point you in the right direction.

Check with a family history center or library in your area to see what they have to offer. Some of these places have free access to HeritageQuest or some other genealogy program.

New site which contains more searchable information from the extraction program.

Answer 5

I would start out at my local library , that way if you had to pay down the road later you would-have your start with info for free.

Answer 6

Going to the local library and using their subscription to Ancestry.com or other  pay services is the best way to decide if you even want to join and pay.  Some places restrict you to one hour of research, but if you go at non-peak times, you might be able to search for hours at once.

I have a laptop with my Family Tree maker on it, and when I find something, I just enter it in my system.  The trouble with the Family tree info on Ancestry and the others is that unless verified, it can be copies of mistakes.  I find this all the time when looking at trees on Ancestry.com.  So, do your own work, verify all data, and then you know its right.  If it takes you five minutes to find out you are related to Attila the Hun or Marie Antionette, I would not trust that tree.  There is tons of bad info out there
