Good Evening, The following was posted on the ROOTS-L list and it looks like a really great resource.: Karima ======================================= Hi all! Besides climbing mountains (we've done hundreds of ascents in the last few years), Karen and I are still active in the technical and genealogical communities. To test some new software, Karen has built a collection of links for folks interested in Illinois (USA) genealogical research. It's kinda large -- 32,468 links and growing -- so it should be of value to almost anyone doing research in Illinois. The focus is on county-level resources, so it covers material that differs from what you might find on the ROOTS-L State Pages and CyndisList. The URL is: http://www.linkpendium.com/ and follow the link near the bottom of the page to the alpha test site. Note that this *IS* an alpha test. That means the software isn't really ready for prime time yet and will be undergoing frequent revisions. Please be patient with us as we grow the facility. Enjoy! -B -- Dr. Brian Leverich Co-moderator, soc.genealogy.methods/GENMTD-L Hundred Peaks Section Webmaster http://angeles.sierraclub.org/hps/ P.O.
