With that said, is there a reasonably priced genealogy software out there one can purchase? Seems I can't find squat in public records, everything leads to, "BUY THIS to find your ancestors!" kind of advertising.
I don't know the names of my paternal or maternal grandparents parents. My mother was born (I think) in Alabama. At least that's where we went to visit her brothers and sisters all my life, up into my teen years. Once I had my own family, I never saw them again. Now, that both my parents are gone, this is proving to be extremely difficult.
Any thoughts welcomed!

You might want to go to ancestry.com Check your local library to see if they have a special library membership. Then you can go on their computers and access all the information without paying. You might want to start with the census information...start with your parents and work backwards. Roots.web is another good site. Go to your local genealogy meeting and someone can help you. I went to one at my library and someone had a membership to ancestry.com and found my husband's maternal great grandparents for me! If you live in TV, I'd go to one of their meetings. Someone mentioned The Family Tree program. I love it for organizing my information. I was really into researching genealogy for awhile, but I've gotten away from it, since we're planning on moving to TV...now I go on the computer and look at TOTV! Best of luck to you, Rebekah!
