Dick Eastman's newsletter had this interesting announcement. At the NGS National Conference, lots of new products and services are announced. I just tried this one, and while nowhere near as useful as Surname Helper at Rootsweb, still, I did get one new connection.... The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1999 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. GenPageFinder Ancestry.com has introduced a new search engine designed just for genealogy. I used it briefly this week and it looks great. Here is the announcement from Ancestry.com: The world of family history on the Internet can seem like an intimidating, incomprehensible mass because it is always growing and always changing. Many researchers wonder how to make sense or use of it all. GenPageFinder is a vital part of the solution. GenPageFinder is a search engine, which currently indexes the contents of over 200,000 genealogical Web pages and is updated every week. It offers search results surrounded by their immediate context and free from non- genealogical clutter. GenPageFinder is a free service and a proud addition to the Ancestry.com Online Genealogical Library. GenPageFinder is now available on Ancestry.com. GenPageFinder also appears as part of the Ancestry.com GlobalSearch results. Some of the pages GenPageFinder will find are quite large. If your keywords are not immediately visible on the page GenPageFinder finds for you, try pressing Ctrl F and entering your keywords again. This should take you to the spot on the page where your keywords appear. Whatever your research interests and whatever searching you've already done, chances are that a search on GenPageFinder will yield fruitful new sources. You can find the new service by going to http://www.ancestry.com and following the menus. However, a direct shortcut is available by going to: http://www.ancestry.com/genpagefinder/genpagefinder.htm
