Hi I use to have ancestory.com but have done all I can do on that site. Is there any other site that is good and has different things than ancestory.com? Thanks! Kathy --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
Kathy, There are many different places to search for information, some free, some by subscription such as ancestry.com (not ancestory???) Not meaning to be promoting http://www.ancestry.com/, but they do add new content every weekday, often several, on a few occasions many. Family Tree Maker (FTM) http://www.genealogy.com which is now owned by The Generations Network (TGN) which also now "owns" ancestry.com, also has subscription based info., they also used to include new data daily, but there have been very few updates in the past few years. Rootsweb has info., they started as free, still free at the moment, but also owned, controlled by TGN. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ They have free mailing lists, such as this one as well as other counties, states, and numerous surname lists. Numerous data bases submitted by volunteers. Also supplies free webspace, many devoted to particular families or surnames as well as many county sites through various projects such as Genealogy Societies, USGenWeb (currently undergoing some changes in this avenue however) American Local History Network (AHLN) etc. Family Search (the Mormons) http://www.familysearch.org/ have a lot of info. Many indexed databases, but also many "user submitted" info. which many not be accurate. As with anything, use the info. as clues. Footnotes http://www.footnote.com/index.php is also subscription, but does have some free information. http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/keyword.html is also subscription, has current obits as well as historical newspapers etc. online. There are probably numerous more, some continuing to add info., many others not. Most are not free, but most, if not all, allow you to search for free to see what kind of hits you get. Then, you have to determine if it looks like a subscription might be worth the cost whether it's monthly or yearly (most offer both). If you're looking for information from a particular area, say Hamilton Co., OH, the Genealogy Society has their website here: http://www.hcgsohio.org/index.shtml I have a site for Hamilton Co., part of USGenWeb & ALHN here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohhamilt/mnpg.html And if you search google, you many find more. Try google for other counties as well. Not sure if this answers your question??? There are so many websites out there today, it's difficult to list them all. But try searching google, you may be surprised with what you find.
