    I've found Ancestry.com to be very useful, particularly when combined with DNA testing.

    Be careful when you head down the Ancestry.com road however. It positively teems with errors, and many of those posting direct and collateral family histories have not done due diligence with their fact checking to a sufficient degree. Check and double check before assuming that others have.

    Ancestry does provide a good starting place and combined with DNA results can be a very useful tool.
    Genealogy generally is a fuzzy science and thus, your mileage may vary. . .
