The free online
genealogy tool that I am most thankful for is the U.S.
GenWeb Project. When I first started researching my family, this was my go-to
site! I found so much information on the pages for the various counties where
my ancestors lived.
I don’t use it as
often now, but I still check back from time to time to see if anything new has
been posted. And if I am starting research in a new state, I definitely check the pages
for those counties in which I am beginning to search.
I am so thankful
for the hard work done by these wonderful volunteers! Their contributions to
online genealogy research are invaluable.
52 Weeks of Abundant
Genealogy by Amy Coffin is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for
each week of 2012) that invite genealogists and others to discuss resources in
the genealogy community including websites, applications, libraries, archives,
genealogical societies and more. You do not have to be a blogger to participate. If you do not have a
genealogy blog, write down your thoughts on your computer, or simply record
them on paper and keep them with your files.
