My dad well I really don't know her is a dead beat I haven't seen since I was seven. I have always wondered about my family history and recently found out the name for it is geneology.. so that as far as I have gotten in my research except for my grest aunt swearinh to everyone we are realted to Rebecca Bryan (Daniel Boones wife)
But anyways my mom nor anyone else I have found have had a intereset in any talk in my family history, but I have had an itch for it and just now at the age of 20 I finally want to take it on my self to find all the answers I have been searching for. So if there is anyway at all you or someone else could help it would be very much appreciated.

Welcome. To begin at the beginning, have a read of all the tips and tricks here for newbies and beginners at the family tree, including free stuff available.
I would suggest you goto Geni.com where you will be asked to register (for free) and begin creating your family tree online. Once you get the hang of it, you can invite any of your relatives who have email addresses so they can add to your tree too.
Below is their detailed privacy policy:-
