At some point it will cost you money. But there are many free resources, and more important there are places to go to which will help you find the free resources. But with anything free it will take more work on your part. But that is the fun!
Start with the fololowing 3 which are linked of the bottom of the page in the reference
# RootsWeb.com Email Lists Look for lists that could be of use. There is a very wide range.
# Cyndi's List the definitive directory list of web resources. Can take time to find what you're after because of the size of the resource.
# Family History site of the LDS Church

You can search census records from 1930 back at the Nat'l Archives in DC. The mormon's do a lot of genealogy work for religious reasons. Non-mormons can use their research centers and get them to get microfilm rolls you need.
The social security death index is usually findable online.
You can look up obits in newspaper archives at some colleges or the Libray of Congress.
Find a local historical society and talk to them.
Counties have land records and such on microfilm. Try a State Archives office.

I don't know. But I have relatives, a Priest, before he enter to cemenary he went to my home town and keep asking to my grand parents the origin of our family then he make a Family Tree. The bad is I dont know now if he already knew our family tree b/c he went to Rome and we dont see each other for years. So maybe start asking your great grand parents or grand parents if you still have, so it maybe help you. Goog Luck!

no where, you can get your census records and birth and death certificates from the counties where your family lived, but it cost 15 to 20 each time, its a costly process but worth it, if you really want to know

You can only trace your family tree back so far, for free,then it starts to cost you money.
