Two of what I consider the top five sites were already mentioned (#2 rootsweb and #3 usgenweb) but there are three others you should know about:
#1: http://www.familysearch.org - provides access to all the online data compiled by the Mormon church. They have more than any 10 other sites, and it's all free. I'm not a Mormon, but this site is #1 by any measurement. I have found more data on my ancestors through this site than all other sites combined.
#4 http://www.cyndislist.com - Cyndi's list is where you find all the other sites. It is THE web directory of genealogy sites. Both well organized and searchable, it's an invaluable resource.
#5 http://www.google.com - OK, it isn't exactly a genealogy site, but smart googling will find stuff about your ancestors on the web that you can't find any other way.

Follow the link below. This is a great list of genealogy websites that was listed on the Genea-Musings blog a few weeks ago.
The best sites on which to conduct genealogy searches depend on the location and the time period, but in general you can also try http://www.ancestry.com . Even though Ancestry.com is a subscription database, many public libraries and local Family History Centers offer free access to Ancestry.com.

What country is your family from? There are specific sites depending on your country of interest.
