Unquestionably the biggest and best collection of Genealogy Links on the Net!
Tree Removal - Trace Your Family Tree
In a rather strange yet reasonable juxtaposition, this tree removal service web site has a page about "Family Trees" as well. They have a short article about it followed by about 30 genealogy links including one relating to deaf individuals.

Family Tree Maker (FTM)
The genealogy software I currently use. Chosen after trying a number of competing products! Even if you don't own the program, there is a lot of good material on this site for you - genealogy training, searching for others, etc.
The Family Tree Maker Wish List
Things FTM won't do that you wish it would! Maybe in the next upgrade?
The Master Genealogist (TMG) from Wholly Genes Software
More powerful than Family Tree Maker but not as polished. Doesn't support long file names. I'm considering switching to this package but I'm really torn. It's tag system lets one record a date/note for just about anything and see them all in a timeline order. Great for seeing a person's life history at a glance. It has much better source handling than FTM also. On the other hand, the new version 3.5 isn't fully released yet and I still haven't been able to get it to print anything. It's lack of Win95 support is also a major negative for me. The jury is still out on this one but if you're just starting, give it a look!
