or most effective geneology website on the internet?

Question:

What are the best and/or most effective geneology website on the internet?

I have a confusing family tree. We have many orphaned immigrants (all from germany). My father knows very little about his father and doesn't talk about his family to myself or my five sisters. I would like to find out names and possible origins of at least some of my family out of sheer curiosity. I am finding many "geneology" sites that don't really have anything helpfull. Has anyone had a good or similar experience? Can you reccomend anyone? I understand you get what you pay for so ALthough I love free and cheap, that is not neccessary.

Thanks in advance!
