FamilyTreeMaker ~ Our genealogy software

Genealogy Books from GlobalGenealogy.com

Access Genealogy.com ~ A Compass Through Time.  A sister site to Surname Web, many of the links here will take you there. Eventually, each site will have it's own respective areas, but until that time we hope you don't become too confused.    

Discover Genealogy Web Rings ~ The addition of a WebRing to your site, will bring others with the same interest as you, and ones searching for ancestors in the same state together. We all know our ancestors moved together, why not look for them together? Another advantage of a WebRing is, it will increase traffic to your site, who of us couldn't use more traffic?  This site has rings for every state, plus with the new additions of Canada and the United Kingdom.

Genealogy Helplist ~ The Genealogy Helplist consists of volunteers who are willing to help others by looking up specific items at institutions near them, or help supply other information easily accessible to them.

British Isles Look-up Exchange

Indo-European Word Database ~ A great site to find out the meanings and origins of words

Occupations ~ The following is a list of occupations of which many are archaic. These are useful to genealogists since surnames usually originated from someone's occupation. They also are useful to historians in general. The list is by no means complete.

Names Common to European Groups ~ By John Kasab.  The goal is to provide names common to the various regions of 12th and 13th century Europe. While it covers western Europe particularly well, it suffers from limited coverage of central and eastern Europe. Contributions are gladly accepted.

Cemetery Lookup Forum ~ Volunteers that do look-ups.  It's still new but seems to have a lot of potential.

The only books I bought to start doing genealogy were by Angus Baxter.  His easy-to-understand way of presenting his material was just what I needed.  Click here to see his books for sale at Amazon.com.  I checked them out of the library first but found that I needed to refer to them often so I bought them.  Since most of my research takes place overseas, I haven't found it necessary to purchase a how-to for the U.S.  If you can recommend any, please send me a note.
