Cyndi's List
The gateway to everything related to genealogy on the net. This is a megasource
of links to other sites. Very well organized and constantly updated. Hosted by
Rootsweb, by the way. Family Search
The incredible genealogy site sponsored by the Latter Day Saints. Millions of names
in their database, free and inexpensive software and an online catalog make this one
of the very best sites on the web. Newly updated and better than ever. Ellis Island
Did your family immigrate through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924? More than 22 million
people passed through these gates during that time period, and this site has them. A fantastic
web site to visit. The US GenWeb Project
If you are researching ancestors anywhere in the United States, you must go here!
A great starting point for research at the county level. A great resource for
census transcriptions, query boards, vital records, and on and on. Yet another
RootsWeb hosted site. Campbell Co., TN - US GenWeb SiteOswego Co., NY - US GenWeb SiteJefferson Co., NY - US GenWeb SiteSmyth Co., VA - US GenWeb SiteThe Farmington Genealogical SocietyIf you have ancestors in Farmington, Oakland County, Michigan, this is a good place to visit. There is an index of 7,000 individual names that they have information on.GHatThe best place on the Internet for Hatfield genealogy.John WhiteakerDon & Mary Saban's genealogy for Judge John Whiteaker of Washington County, Virginia.eBay AuctionsAn online auction site. A great place to hunt for genealogical treasures. One tip before bidding on books though - check to see if Amazon.com has a new version and compare the cost. People sometimes get caught up in a bidding frenzy. A used version of a book I was interested in was bid up to $40. I bought it new on Amazon.com for $11!Ancestry.com
A massive commercial site which includes subscription access to all of their databases. They are
well on their way to having images for the entire U.S. census 1790-1920 online, as well as many
indexes. Heritage Quest
Another huge commercial site, though most of its resources are off-line. Among
other things, you can purchase or rent any of the census microfilm rolls available
through NARA or the FHC. Better yet, you can buy their "digitized microfilm" census
CDs. Once you do, you'll never look at another census on microfilm again! TopoZoneThis is a great topographical mapping site for finding very small regions within any county in the United States. It incorporates all of the 7.5 minute maps from the United States Geological Survey.
