Im 30 years old, and dont know anything past my grandparents. I'de like to know who my ancestors are as far back as they can find them. I'm also not trying to spend too much money! Help!
my suggestion is that you get a book called unpuzzling your past by Emily Croom. It will take you step by step and cost about $20. I have used my copy for years.
I am a firm believer in only using the internet as a tool as there is so much bad info out there. I always document with birth, death, marriage certificates, obits, cemetery records, etc. These are your proof that you are on the right line.
Census records are great. If your library subscribes to Heritagequest you can use it from home with your library card for free. You will find your family along with their siblings listed. Great info
Good luck in your quest. If I can be of further help please feel free to email me

Are your grandparents still alive? Ask them who they remember. Do your parents not know who their grandparents were? Check with other relatives.
A program is not going to do much for you until you have the info to put into it.
But you can download a program like Brother's Keeper for free. It's shareware.
You can use familysearch.org. It's free. Mostly family trees.
Sites like Ancestry.com or HeritageQuest are a good place to find info. They aren't free however.
But, you may check a local library. Many subscribe to these sites and you can use them for free.
