I prefer Google's format. And, please do more than the regular search. All family researchers should check out "Google Local." Go to Google (http://www.google.com) and then click on "more>>" Then scroll to the link for "Google Local" which has a compass icon over it. Click it. In the "What" field enter "genealogy" without the quote marks. In the "Where" field enter a town and state you wish to research (I used "Warrenton, Virginia" - without the quote marks - to test it. There is a new contender, though: A9 from Amazon.com: http://wwwA9.com It has some neat features like saving searches and bookmarking~ Kathleen Bowen <snipped>
