Once you have read this blog post, you really shouldn't have any reason NOT to dig into your family roots.
NOT EXPENSIVE!
#1~ Join a Genealogical Society
(Still have to do this one myself)
#2Check out the local public / university Libraries.
(The local Library is where I got started. Go to the Genealogy section , just look around , up and down the rows of books. Check out the computer stations~which most will have a FREE hook up to ANCESTRY.COM )
#3 Check out the LDS Family History Libraries.
(find on close by from the FAMILY.ORG site.
#4 CYNDISLIST is one of the best sites out there for resourses and links of all kinds. I do believe that almost EVER person out there doing genealogy has used this site as a starting point and still with her today!
Most of the online reasearch is free, so you can get pretty deep into your family roots and not spending a penny !
NOT TIME CONSUMING!
#1 the time factor~WHY? Start with one person and go from there. I started with my dad at the time of his death back in Dec. 2005. and have gone back about 12 generations just the SARGENT pedigree.
#2 Don't bite off more than you can chew~take small bite size portions. Everyone starts with the "spoon size" method. Just take is slow. As you grow and hunger more , the wanting will come around.
