Some Genealogy Websites (some fee, some free)
http://www.cyndislist.com (a nice compendium of genealogy sites)
deathindexes.com (has some birth indexes, too)
http://www.genealogybank.com (newspapers, etc.)
http://www.fold3.com (has a lot of databases, but specializes in military records)
http://archives.gov (National Archives and Records Administration – your tax dollars at
work; especially good for military records and they have a “Getting
Started” link for genealogy as well)
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov – free digitized newspapers up through 1922, from the
Library of Congress
http://www.ancestry.com (mostly fee-based, but well worth it; I could not search without
it)
http://www.familysearch.org (LDS site -- free)
http://www.findagrave.com (there’s a celebrity section and a “regular folks” section; you
can ask a researcher to take pictures for you; you can also upload your own
photos)
http://www.rootsweb.com (free, but sponsored by Ancestry, so they’re always trying to
link you there; a lot of user-based family trees there)
http://www.daddezio.com/society/hill/index.html (a guide to all historical and
genealogical societies in the US, with links to those that are online)
http://www.owston.com/consanguinity.jpg (a consanguinity chart)
http://www.myheritage.com/family-treebuilder?trn=ppc_google&trp=USA_EN_FTB_Search_New&trl=software&gclid=CMz6y
66x3rUCFcR7QgodYXAA-w (a free downloadable family tree chart; however, if you
really get into your genealogy, you will probably want to purchase a software program,
such as Ancestry.com’s Family Tree Maker)
