Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet

Rootsweb Home Page   https://sites.rootsweb.com
The host for our site has many categories to explore from the links on their home page.  The GEDCOM files in the World Connect section have many 'Corson' entries.

CORSON BULLETIN BOARD on Ancestry.com
This board had its origins as "Genconnect on Rootsweb".  It is now the merged result of six categories of boards that were on that forum.  The past postings from that beginning can be accessed by going back in the thread.  CCFHA does not administer or control the input on this forum.

Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter   http://www.ancestry.com/columns/eastman/index.htm

We have included a few sites which fall into the category of GENERAL HELP, but the function of this page is not to list the many sites which have interesting and useful genealogical information.  Such listings are extensive and are best found elsewhere.  The focus of this list are PERSONAL SITES  and others with specific information about 'Corson' families.

We provide these listings for the purpose of assisting searchers and web site owners to make new contacts.

Because this list is being continually added to and updated  the most recent additions are listed in separate sections so you can check back periodically and see what has been changed without checking the complete list.
 
SITE OWNERS: If you see your own site listed, please make any suggestions for your description by contacting the webmaster.   [email protected]

 It would be more beneficial for searchers if the site listings had more amplifying information included.  We would appreciate your input on 'reviewing' these sites.  The basic information about the site name, it's owner, and the extent and nature of the relationships, of the individuals and families listed, to the various lines could be verified or expanded.  Also, comments about the ease of use of the site, accuracy of data, or other observations would be desirable.

CAUTION should be exercised in accepting any data from a web site.  Always verify family group and relationship information with original sources.  Consult with the site owner for the source of their information to help you check the data with the original.  Too many times false connections and assumptions get passed from researcher to researcher without verification, and subsequently it is difficult to stifle erroneous material.

A very well stated piece about citing sources. Also, links to a number of other articles on the same subject.

COPYRIGHTS- Just because you find something on the internet does not mean it isn't copyrighted.  In fact, most of what you'll find will likely have copyright protection.  Many sites with information can be found on 'Cyndi's List':

Finding Information on these sites:
In many cases the link will take you directly to the 'CORSON' (or variant) individuals or families on that site.  On others the link may take you to the surname index for that site.  On some sites you may have to do a little searching to find the relevant information. If you find something of interest, then go to the home page, index, or other pointer to find out how to contact the site owner.
