In order to help you, I first went to Cyndi's list http://www.cyndislist.com, clicked on topical index, localities and then down to United States, CO. There was so much there I did not go any further. By the time you wade through all of that, you should have a good idea of where to find anything in CO. However, if you have tried that and are still looking, try http://www.familysearch.org You could spend a week or so there. Read the tutorials and try all the databases, not just the search for ancestors one. Do a search using the various search engines. http://www.google.com Remember if you are looking for Bunkers to put in the name like this "John Bunker". This keeps out the Bunker Hill references. What it does is bring up references to things that have the two words side by side. Other search engines you can try are http://www.northernlight.com http://www.dogpile.com http://www.altavista.com and http://www.alltheweb.com When searching these sites, if you get too many hits, try putting in a date or range of dates like 1880-1900, a place or occupation and see if you can narrow it down some. Search http://ancestry.com http://www.genealogy.com http://www.heritage.com for census indexes. This may lead you to a specific place. Then you can go to the vital records office for that place. Try public libraries for the area or town. Many have reference librarians that answer email and will help you locate new places to look. Also, try historical societies for the area and see what records they may have and if they have anyone that can do research for you. Are you in a place where there is a Family History Library? Usually located in the phone book under the Mormon church or Church of Latter Day Saints. They will help you a lot. Try the Colorado State Archives http://www.archives.state.co.us Incidentally, this same URL with the abbreviation for the state (i.e.. MO for Missouri) is quite likely to be the state archives for any state. Good luck. Bette Subject: Re: search sites Bette: You are a very active participant to this list site. Maybe you can help. I am looking for info in Colorado - the Denver area. It's not a BUNKER. But I thought there might be someone on the list who could head me in the right direction. I'm looking for some births, a marriage, and death/buriel of some folks there. I tried the GenWeb. Not much luck there. Nancy
