The Church of Latter Day Saints - Family Search is one of the best free websites to search for family genealogy. Information is not for church members only. The LDS Church members were and have always been great information gatherers. I was very surprised to find many of my family members listed in different categories and not one of them was a Mormon. This site is free and easy to use, there are also LDS family libraries in most states which has tons of information, research is free but appointments are necessary. Check out their website http://www.familysearch.org/. To find a library near you click on the Library tab then click on the Family History Centers tab and fill in your location and it will bring us the closest one.
