With the end of the year 2000, I thought it might be interesting to share some of the progress we've made throughout the year on: Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet http://www.CyndisList.com See all details below. Successful surfing in the new year, Cyndi +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ LINK ACTIVITY SUMMARY: 2000 1999 Difference --------------------------------------------------------- Total New Links Categorized: 30,436 5,976 +24,460 (+80%) Total Links Updated: 15,183 6,332 + 8,851 (+58%) Total Links Deleted: 2,005 3,949 - 1,944 ( -51%) ================================================= Total Link Activity: 47,624 16,257 31,367 2000 -- Average per month: (Avg. 1999) 2,536 new links categorized ( 498) 1,265 updated/corrected links ( 527) 167 deleted links ( 329) Link activity chart for the year 2000: http://www.CyndisList.com/graphics/stats2000chart.gif For comparison, see the chart for the year 1999: http://www.CyndisList.com/graphics/stats1999chart.gif +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ ABOUT THE NUMBERS FOR THE YEAR 2000: More than 26,000 new links were found on the Internet,and either submitted or visited, verified, categorized, and added to Cyndi's List, increasing the grand total to almost 85,000 links at year-end.

You will find a FreeFind search box at the top of every page on the site, as well as on: http://www.CyndisList.com/searchit.htm The FreeFind index of Cyndi's List is updated once each week. This means that each week you will be searching the most recent sets of links that have been added to the list (both categorized and uncategorized). In November, I added a Google search engine option for Cyndi's List to give you yet another way to find useful links on my site (see the URL shown above). I find that the Google search engine returns better, more precise hits for your search. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ IN THE MEDIA & THE GENEALOGICAL COMMUNITY: Cyndi's List was featured in People Magazine, The New York Times, and USA Today among other media reports about the site: http://www.CyndisList.com/awards.htm Cyndi appeared in ten episodes of the "Ancestors II" PBS television series: http://www.kbyu.org/ancestors/ Cyndi was elected to the Board of Directors for the National Genealogical Society and began serving a four-year term in October: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ QUEBEC-RESEARCH-L@rootsweb.com Regards, Fred V Provoncha Systems Mgr, The Estee Lauder Companies, Melville Long Island,NY http://home.att.net/~unclefred http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyessex http://www.genweb.net/~unclefred ==== QUEBEC-RESEARCH Mailing List ==== Wishing you all the very Merriest of New Years!
