Folks, Enclosed is a list of WWW sources that I provided at a presentation I gave at the 1999 Fulton Reunion in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Alan E. Mann web pages help to show you how to do surname searches and locality searches on the web. He presented some of these materials on his web pages at the LDS seminar in June 1999 at the Family History Center in Manhattan, NY. The other addresses on the list are general ones that you may find useful. According to Media Matrix 500 Oct. report, the following genealogical sites received the most visitors (in alphabetical order): Ancestry.com (sponsored by a commercial site) FamilySearch.org (sponsored by LDS) FamilyTreemaker.com (sponsored by a commercial site) Genealogy.com (sponsored by a commercial site) MyFamily.com (sponsored by a commercial site) RootsWeb.com (a data cooperative - hosts our mailing list, USGenWeb) I was surprised that Cyndi's List did not make the top hitters - it is an extraordinary site that categorizes topics for helping you to find sources of information on the internet. If you are interested in improving your research skills, take advantage of all the free lessons on the internet. Also subscribe to some of the weekly newsletters (for suggestions see Cyndi's List, category Mailing List & Newsletters sub category Newsletter - (read only Mailing Lists). Repeat Performance sells tapes of genealogical speakers who have presented at the national genealogical conferences. I listen to the tapes on my way to and from work - it is like having an expert research mentor teaching me how to improve my skills. Hope you find this list helpful. Roberta R.
