Do any of you have favorite websites which you use for researching marriages? I am working on my newsletter for my ward here in Michigan. It will have a marriage and sealing theme. I thought I would add a column of FREE website links which are excellent for searching marriages. (My goal is to encourage the ward members to know how much research they can actually do at home in their fuzzy slippers.) For instance, here are some of the websites I have thought of so far. New FamilySearch http://new.familysearch.org Western States Marriages http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/search.cfm Marriages in the Netherlands www.GenLias.nl Record Search Pilot at FamilySearch http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763–1900 http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/marriage.html For instance, here are some of the websites I have thought of so far. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it very much. Mary Scott Northville Ward Westland Michigan Stake Detroit Michigan Temple District

I use and extract for www.freebmd.org.uk this is very useful. www.usgenweb.org. www.genuki.org very useful British site. Other good sites: www.freecen.org.uk (this has many of the English censuses indexed and is free) www.freereg.org.uk this is just starting out and doesn't have to many registers indexed. www.ddd.dda.dk (useful site for Danish census--if You don't read Danish Click on the British flag for English) www.arkivalieronline.dk (this has most of the Danish parish registers for free-- You do have to register and get a password. http://archives.utah.gov/research/guides/index.html This has some Utah deaths and births. www.findagrave.com Useful site for finding burials Another very useful tip: Get a public library card. Most public libraries have Free access to ancestry.com in the library. Also At home access is granted for some items--look at what is Offered. For instance: www.slco.lib.ut.us is the Salt Lake county library site. You can get free access at home to HeritageQuest.com with the US census, the Revolutionary War Data, many books etc. Also Newsbank with access to nationwide obituaries. I would appreciate anybody listing some others they find useful Thank you.
