Ancestry.com: I really want a membership to this website, but currently can't afford it. It is expensive, but worth every penny for every serious genealogist. It not only helps you organize your family tree, but it educates, and has its own searching resources, so you wouldn't need to go the a library to search newspaper archives and census records.
Newspaper Archive: This is a great resource to subscribe to. It isn't very expensive, and it saves you a trip to the library. It has access to thousands of newspaper archives across the U.S. It's great for looking up obituaries and other news articles. Discover Your Family History In The
World's Largest Newspaper Archive!
Library Resources: don't forget to check your local library to see what resources they have available to you.
