And how far back you are looking. Recent records can be hard to access due to privacy concerns. Older records can be non-existent. FamilyHSearch.org (https://www.familysearch.org/) has some, but beware of user submitted information since there is no checking to see if those trees are accurate. Fold3.com (http://www.fold3.com/) has US military and some Indian (especially Cherokee) info but not much vital records. Some states and/or counties have online archives, some have good sites on the USGenWeb (http://usgenweb.org/) or USGenWeb Archives (http://www.usgwarchives.net/).

If you want stuff looked up on Ancestry, let me know - I have a World membership and can try to find what you need.
