If you have information about your parents and grandparents then you have a start. As far as finding any particular website that will have your family tree on it good luck. Fortunately the Catholic Church keeps very good records if you can get someone to show them to you. If you want to do research using the web try http://www.familysearch.org (it's free) there are alot of websites that will allow you to look up information, there are also many that charge for a membership (some of these are good some not) If you have a branch of the LDS church near you, ask someone there about a family history center, you don't have to be a member of the LDS church to use the center. They have access to mountains of information and have microfilmed alot of records from various countries. Good Luck

Go to the public library and have a genealogist guide you on finding your family.

Look up Genealogy on the Web. If that doesn't help you, nor can I.
