It's been a few years since I searched for ancestors, but at my cousins 70th birthday party I st next to another cousin who is also interested in finding out more. He is using "Legacy" to make a family tree for our family - quite interesting. I haven't got the software, yet. But if any of you are interested in this, try it! The software is free.
