Try Ancestry.com or Rootsweb.com and enter your family name.  If someone has already posted a family tree it will display it for you.  Ancestry.com charges a fee for more in depth searches but some areas are free.  And Rootsweb.com has more free searches but will sometimes boot you right back over to Ancestry.com.  Or try typing your family name along with 'genealogy' or 'family tree' behind it into your search engine...that will sometimes display some existing family tree where someone else has done the investigating.  Happy hunting to you.

there is a free service through Ancestry.com, they offer limited resources.  For full service, you have to pay.\n\nI was able to work up a very extensive family tree for several generation by using the free service.  You can't find the "lost" ancestors, but there is a huge pool of people who are on the sites, thanks to the Mormon church registry.\ncheck here:\nhttp://www.uftree.com/\nhttp://genealogy.about.com/library/free_charts/bl_family_tree.htm\nhttp://www.ancestorhunt.com/

The only way is to do the footwork. If your father was referring to British royalty and you are keen to trace your family in the UK, you will need to look at your family's birth, marriage and death certificates. If your Dad has his birth certificate it will show your grandparents' names. You can then trace back to their certificates and discover your great grandparents' names until they started in 1837. From that information, you should be able to discover dates and places and compare them to censuses which will give you more information. Finally, the oldest data around is contained in parish registers. It will take some doing to find out, but is possible.\n\nA lot of this information has been made available on-line.\n\nIf your ancestors were royal doctors, it is also likely that they will appear in history books and biographies - so it is worth rooting around your second hand bookshops and library too.\n\nThe BBC has a brilliant website that will help anyone interested in finding out about their British ancestory.

Try the Human Genome Project\nThere is some other project where you send them a splot of your blood and they tell you your entire family history and migration patterns and everything.\nIt's called genetic anthropology.\n\nSome scientists now believe that everyone can be traced back to 4 major groups of people or something like that.\n\nHere's the only link I found but there are better ones out there.

You can check birth records at your county courthouse, they list the parents. If it is a man you are checking up on, it will make it easier, because you can check all births by his last name. \nYou can also check birth announcements in the archives of your local newspaper.
