You do not have to be a member of the Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saint's (Mormon) in order to do genealogy. The best places to do research in the real world (not online) are the LDS Family History Center's. Also, they have the largest collection of genealogical material in the world in Salt Lake City, Utah. You can access the material at the Salt Lake City, Utah library or at the Family History Centers. You do not have to belong to the church in order to do this, and they don't charge a fee for using their facilities.

If you are doing your searching online, there are many places that will help. Familysearch.org is the website that the LDS Church maintain's. They have extensive records online, as well as a card catalog of what is available through their FHC's. There is also a lookup for finding your local FHC and a free genealogy program, Personal Ancestry File (PAF).

There are other free sites, including Rootsweb.com and USGenweb.com. Pay sites include Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com and Footnote.com.
