I would recommend looking into Ancestry.com. I did a DNA test several years ago and have thousands of DNA matches (you can still build a family tree without submitting DNA, but it gives you access to a lot more data when you match with people). Matching with DNA relatives allows you to tap into their family trees. It's particularly helpful if you can find a few people who you share DNA with who are really into ancestry/geneology have really robust family trees, since you can view all of their research and import it into your own tree (sometimes a paid subscription is necessary to access certain artifacts - but you can non-renew when you're not using it). I used this methodology to go back 10+ generations through several arms of my family history. It's easy to spend hours and hours on research.
