Arlington National Cemetery has a free website offering information on burials, photos, stories, videos, history and biographies. If you have an ancestors buried at Arlington National Cemetery I highly recommend searching this website.
There are over 300,000 burials at Arlington so the website does not include every one buried there, however, there are many categories that are well worth checking.
Categories include, American Astronauts, Confederate Graves, Foreign Nationals, Prominent Civilians, Soldiers under Custer's Command, US Supreme Court and thousands of US Army, Navy, Marine Corp and Coast Guard Graves.
The biography section of the buried is especially interesting.

Free Genealogy Search - Alabama Genealogy
Alabama Genealogy and History Guide is a great place to check for family members from Alabama. They have online records scanned in for easy searching.
While this is a great site it is easy to click on a variety of topics and get redirected somewhere else. Some of the sites you might be directed to are free, others have a fee to use.
The scanned in census records are all free and they offer quite a few decades. I like searching the old census records because I always discover something new in my search. Keep in mind that the census takers of old were not the most educated people. Often times there are many misspellings in names but this was not always the census takers fault. Many people just couldn't read or write and had no idea how to spell their own names leaving the census taker with the only option of sounding it out.
If you have ancestors from Alabama this is a great free genealogy site to check out.
