Hello, For those of you who know something about what they are doing(we hope so anyway) here are some links for you to snoop; SSDI Searchable Link <A HREF="http://www.ancestry.com/search.htm">Genealogy - Ancestry Library Search</A> A few searchable places to look are: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/~alacy/spring_c.htm">Surname Springboard In dex</A> <A HREF="http://www.everton.com/c1.htm">Everton's On-Line Search</A> <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/roots-l/roots-l.html">ROOTS-L Home Page</A> <A HREF="http://web.mountain.net/~wfmoney/cd/">Ancestral Findings -Free Searc hes!!-</A> I have found USGenWeb to be an excellent reasearch base. They cover each state broken down by county. Some have a lot of information and some don't , they almost all have queries pages to post your names on and see if anyone else is searching for the same name.<A HREF="http://www.usgenweb.com /">USGenWeb Project</A> There are so many good places and links out there---- <A HREF="http://home.ear thlink.net/~middleton/topten.html">Best Genealogy Links on the WWW!</A> <A HR EF="http://www.oz.net/~cyndihow/sites.htm">Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet</A> <A HREF="http://users.aol.com/johnf14246/gen_mail.html">Gene alogy Resources on the Internet</A> <A HREF="http://www.everton.com/">Everton 's Genealogical Helper: Web Site</A> <A HREF="http://www.familytreemaker.com/ users/f/u/n/Joe-Jr-D-Funderburk/GENE14-0001.html">Family Tree Maker's Genealog y Site: User Home...</A> If there is a particular site you want or need for instance Native Americans- you can find links on Best or Cyndi's. We will be comparing surnames too. I have already seen some interesting(to me) names. We are just starting. Our group is growing everyday. A place to see if you have a live cousin online or off(snail address) go to <A HREF="http://www.lycos.com/">Welcome to Lycos</A> and click on People find.
