Try http://www.ssdi.rootsweb.com/

EllisIsland.com; Genealogy.com; also, the Mormon's have a genealogy site, which might be free.\n\nGood luck!  We've found relatives on one side of the family, but are having a very hard time with the other side--the names are very common ones, and we don't have exact birth dates.

Some libraries has subscriptions to the census images; you have to use them at the library, usually. The rest of these are free, but with advertising.\n\nhttp://www.cyndislist.com/\n(240,000+ links, all cross-indexed.)\n\nhttp://www.familysearch.com\n(Mormon's mega-site)\n\nhttp://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi\n(450,000,000+ entries, of varying quality)\n\nhttp://www.usgenweb.net/\n(Subdivided into state sites, which all have county sites.)\n\nhttp://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi\n(Social Security Death index - click on "Advanced".)\n\nhttp://find.person.superpages.com/\n(US Phone book, for looking up distant cousins)\n\nhttp://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=\nSurname meanings and origins\n\nA word of warning - there isn't a magic site that will take your name in and give you a 12-generation pedigree. Genealogy takes time.\n\nA second W. of W. - You won't find living people on any of the sites except the phone book one. You will have to find your grandparents' or great grandparents' birth dates and maiden names somewhere besides the Internet.\n\nA third W. of W. - The free sites are supported by advertising, just like TV. You can't watch the Super Bowl without seeing a beer commercial, and you can't surf for dead relatives without seeing an Ancestry advertisement. Don't complain about advertisements. They bring you the "free" sites. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

You may have some luck contacting the state health agency where your grandparents died; since you're directly related, you have access to those records. Do a search on the vital records department of whatever state and you should be able to get contact information.\n\nUnless they died over 50 years ago, the records aren't in the public domain, so you won't have much luck on sites like genealogy.com or ancestry.com.

Try the Social Security Death Index.  You don't need to know the Social Security number.\nhttp://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/

I don't know the name of the site ,but you can probably type in the search box family history and if you click on one of the sites that they list you can maybe find a web site that can give you a free week of using it because thats what my dad did, but you can only do it once on that web site.

You can so a search for Oak Ridge, Tennessee.  After that, do a search for newspapers there.  Most major newspapers will have a obituary search.  I hope that helps.

go to myheritage.com that site should help. \n\nthere is also ancestry.com but you have to pay for that I think.

One of the best places to get started is Cyndi's List of Geneaology Sites. You say you can afford more sites so try ancestry.com. They have a huge repository of data but it costs about $80 per year to subscribe.
