Hello all - Welcome to all the new genealogical researchers in cyberspace! With many new computer owners joining us online this month, I thought I might take a minute to introduce my web site to everyone. For those of us who have been here a while, here is a bit of an update on what you can find on Cyndi's List. Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet http://www.CyndisList.com More than 58,300 links! 45,400 links, categorized & cross-referenced, in over 120 categories. Another 12,900+ uncategorized new links in the works. There are four indexes to the site, each of which is arranged in a different manner, but all pointing to the same category pages throughout the site. There is also a search engine which is great for people searching for specific surnames or topics not found by browsing through the category names. Following is a list of the indexes and the categories that make up Cyndi's List -- your free jumping-off point for genealogical research on the Internet.
