Answer 1/2 - Submitted 8/22/2011

The best free genealogy site is familysearch.org. This completely free site where you can build your family tree and search for record from all over the world going back several hundred years. The membership is free, but you don't need a membership to search.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 8/22/2011

Genealogy is an area where the information is radically more accessible than ever before because of the age of the Internet. So, I really would not try to focus on a single best site. I would suggest you take advantage of all the free content that is available out there. And there are a variety of sites to explore.

A word of caution, though: You cannot rely on the facts found online. Everything you find online needs to be confirmed separately before you can assume it to be reliable.

But with that thought in mind, you can search for hours at various free venues such as:

Rootsweb.com
Ancestry.com
WorldGenWeb.org
www.archives.gov/genealogy

The biggest and most comprehensive places to begin are probably these two sources:
CyndisList.com
www.dmoz.org/Society/Genealogy
