Family Trees are a great way to organise and share your discoveries; your online tree can be accessed from anywhere and can be shared with people with similar family interests. During the past few years internet access to worldwide Birth, Death and Marriage Records, Passenger and Census Records have been made available, many for free. Although the knowledge and skill on how to access and search these sites is very limited to the novice genealogist.
