  1. http://www.familytree.com


  2. www.rootsweb.com  

    info there can be printed or saved; many files allow you to download a gedcom.

    The "buyer beware".. when you don't research anything, you have no way to know that it is right or not.

    If you download a file from rootsweb, you are still bound by ethics in genealogy to understand that the file IS the result of someone else's work (unless they copied it from someone else), and to claim it as YOUR research is dishonest.

    The MAIN problem with "trees" posted online is that unless you have stomped a cemetery, paid for documents, spent the day in a courthouse basement... you really don't understand what research consists of.  

    It is up to you, to understand how to FAIRLY use any information that you find on the internet.  FAIR and honest.. if you use someone else's work.. you give credit to them, for the research, and limit how far you utilize it.  You can save a copy of something, print it out.. make note at the top that the file belongs to so and so (with contact point, if possible). If it says it got the info from the 1880 census, get the copy of that census and incorporate it as part of your file (as well as review it, to see if it actually says what they claim).

  3. If you just want to see what a pedigree chart looks like, go to

    http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...

    or

    http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/f...

    look up someone famous, like Brigham Young, then click on "Pedigree view". You can print it off by clicking on "File -> Print".

    If you want to enter your name in a magic web site that will do 250 hours of reserch for you, then print your family tree, it doesn't exist.
