Want to get started researching your own family tree? These sites will help you get started:†

• Reunion (Genealogy Software for Macintosh)
• Ancestry.com
• Yahoo's Genealogy Section
• Yahoo Seniors' Guide - Genealogy
• SurnameWeb
• Genealogy.Org

Here's where you can find out how to put your own family tree on the Web:†

• Reunion (Sure, I've already listed it, but it deserves it)
• Mac OS X (Mac OS X is great operating system for any genealogist, especially those who wish to put stuff up on the web. That's because Mac OS X supports PDF system-wide, so if you can print it, you can make a PDF and have it up on the Web in seconds. Which is excellent for sharing charts and graphs)
• PHP Gedcom Viewer (Some understanding of MySQL web site administration would be helpful)
• The GEDCOM format (A nitty gritty guide to the standardized format used in genealogy trading)
• MySQL (The database engine behind it all)
• Apache Web Server (The Web server used on this site)
• PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (An Apache module with incredibly powerful server-side scripting capabilities)
• GED2HTML (A program to convert GEDCOM files to static HTML. Available for Mac, Unix, and Windows)
• LifeLines An open source genealogy editor. Has an extremely powerful reporting and scripting engine. Mostly command line based, but people have written a GUI for it (which I haven't tried).

Many genealogy programs now offer a feature to export to HTML directly (Reunion does). Also, Web sites like RootsWeb.com and Ancestry.com both allow you to submit a GEDCOM for hosting.
