Ancestry and Familytreemaker sites are commercial sites for a monthly or annual fee, but both sites have excellent on-line libraries well worth the fee if you can afford it. Three books a day are being added to these libraries and at this writing, nearly a thousand genealogical books are available on each site. The sites like GenConnect that are associated with Rootsweb are, of course, all free sites for those who cannot afford to take advantage of the commercial sites.
