Lately, I've had a few people message me about genealogy research and where to start. Ancestry is great but it will cost you, and if don't use it regularly, it's a waste of money. Two of my favorite free sites are https://familysearch.org/ and http://www.findagrave.com/ - These sites are great for newbies and those who've been doing their family tree for years, as new records are added all the time. My favorite software to keep generations of information organized is Family Tree Maker. Yes, there are many more genealogy sites and software but these are the ones I recommend for newbies.
Here's a photo I took with my ancestors' gravestone in Ireland. What a fabulous trip!

Don't forget the genealogists favorite "free" site. Your local public library where Ancestry.com library edition is probably available on site. Many also have genealogy groups, very helpful to beginners.
Yes, thank you, Renee. I had forgotten that the library offers ancestry free now. =)
