Any genealogy research brings a person in touch with the history of  the times within a specific area as much as their own lineage. Those that came before me seemed to have moved around a lot more then than now. My findings have taken me all over the place. But, mostly I am stuck in Texas and its History, trying to sort through my bio-roots and my adopted ones as well. On the adopted side: my mother's family was a pioneer family here in Lubbock. They had migrated from Tennessee in a covered wagon. My father's family lived in Mississippi and Louisiana before Texas. . .and on the bio-side, I am still confused about who is who. And, so it goes, the genealogy virus strikes again.
These resources on this page are ones I have used in my genealogy research. Like most people, I started out with Cyndi's List. It is one of the best overall resource still. If you are wanting something related to genealogy, that site is the place to start. She has a section on things you need to know about online genealogy research. . .worth checking out.
NOTE: There appears to be some controversy over family histories and who has the rights to publishing those. Information (even old, family information) has a value to some collectors. Read the fine print before you sign up on a site that encourages you to post your family history.
