How can you trace your ancestors in the computer?

While there are computer programs that will help you organize your genealogy information, and there are on-line resources that can be very helpful in tracing ancestors, it is not possible for most people to trace their ancestors using only a computer. Most people need to interview relatives and record what they say about their recent ancestors. Most people need to visit archives, cemeteries, and libraries to find information that is not yet available on a computer.
