My apologies to all my fellow genealogists. I did not re-check some of the URL's I gave you in a message yesterday and several people found at least two that are "dead." Also, a number of people did not see the mailing list that talked about a "date calculator" and were unhappy that I did not include a URL for that as well. So, I am "updating" the resources of yesterday and, for those who are new to Internet genealogy, I am including a few more that I feel are absolutely indispensable. I don't mean to imply that I have a corner on all of the "good URL's". But, for those who are just getting started (and there seem to be more and more of those every day), I believe these URL's can be as helpful to others as they have been to me. And I have checked all of these! :-) A DATE CALCULATOR http://www.geditcom.com/DateCalc.html COLONIAL OCCUPATIONS http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sam/occupation.html OLD TERMS FOR DISEASES http://www.cyndislist.com/medical.htm#Diseases AN ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE RESOURCE OF LINKS http://www.cyndislist.com/ THE BEST (in my opinion) FREE GENEALOGY RESOURCE http://rootsweb.com/ AN EXCEPTIONAL SEARCH ENGINE http://www.google.com/ These resources, combined with what I sent out yesterday WILL help anybody's research go faster and easier. If you don't agree, let me know and I'll refund all the money you paid for them! :-) Have a great day and good hunting! -- Tom
