Where to start, well, assuming that you don't have a genealogy program, I would look at getting that.  There are some free programs available that although they don't have all the bells and whistles, are quite suitable.

I personally use Family Tree Maker but I wasn't aware of the free software at that time, not that it's a bad program.  Another thing, it's not 'necessary' to subscribe to all the services/forums such as Ancestry.com  They are nice in that they have a great deal of information available, but your paying them for it.  You can also access that same information through your library.  While on the subject of libraries, is there a local branch near you which has a genealogy collection?  If so, then you may be able to access census records, marriage information, necrology files(death notices) through them depending on how large their collection is.

I could go on, but first put down the information that you have and then decide which branch you want to expand on and go from there.

I'm kind ofnew at this myself,but one great source is relatives that maybe you haven't been in touch with for years.My cousins have picturers and letterr and such that I of course never knew about.what a treasure trove of iinfo they can be.
IN fact,one cousin had my grandfather's family bibile ! The names and dates in there sure were a help..for instance,having middle names is a HUGE help in online searches,and dates are a bonus to that.Even just a middle initial is a big help on a search engine.

also,I have found some very interesting things just by Googling a person's name. You just never know where the next bit of info may pop up from.
