Anyone into genealogy? (hexbear.net)

I've been doing a little research into my family through FindAGrave.com and it got me interested in a pretty serious genealogy project. I'm planning on making a binder for each one of my great grandparents, since they are the oldest living family I ever got to meet, and branching out from there.

I was wondering if there were other free resources to track down some info. I know I can do a free trial on Ancestry.com and I plan on that once I get all my ducks in a row, so I can maximize my free trial.

I'd prefer online resources. I'm well aware I can go to my library or township halls to get info. I'm looking for stuff I can find when I'm just sitting around at home.

This inspired me to look at mine and see how far back it went, and I've gotten past Henry I and into triple-digit years and it's still going 😳

Edit: this sucked away my entire afternoon, but I found out I'm descended from fuckin Boudicca, so it was worth it
