This Sharpton stuff has me researching my family's roots, trying to see if there are any Crackers with 2 nickels to rub together that MY FAM might be able to go after....

Seriously though, ancestry.com has a 3 day free trial, where u have access to billions of online records. You just put in the names/dates/places of relatives that you do know as far back as u can go, and it does searches to find information on them. That info might give you info that you DIDN'T have when you started, so then you can go back further. They have:birth certificates, census records, death certificates, military records, immigration records, marriage certificates,land deeds/wills, etc(i found my paternal grandfather's WW2 military record). I'm already back to 1855 with one line of my family, after only a couple of hours of researching. Already found info 2 generations back further than what I started with. It's fascinating, ya'll ought to check it out.
