If anyone in your tree came through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924, go to this site (free).
For building the tree, I am using http://www.ancestry.com/ as a guest member, which is free. Before getting started, go to the "Learning Center" tab and check out the information there. As you are building the tree, when you go to "View profile", as you scroll down the right side, you will find "Recent Member Connect activity". If there is anything there, click on "See details". If anyone else has been working the tree, this will give you parents names, and the date of birth and death. At the bottom right you can click on "Search the web for (person's name)". If you are lucky, you might find something like "Descendants of (person's name)", which can keep you busy for a long time if it includes very many generations. Then again, you might find "700000 people connected with European Royalty". Good luck there.
The Downtown Spokane Public Library has a Geneology department on the third floor, open at all times the library is open. Eastern Washington Genealogical Society has volunteers to answer questions and assist beginning genealogists at certain hours.
