Yesterday I did a Genealogy/Family History presentation.
Where I discussed only a few aspects of the
research. It was more about inspiring these
folks. It was not an audience of seasoned
genealogist. Although a few are.
I did tell them that Family History is moving at an
extreame fast rate. You have so many resources available. Less then 25% of our research now you don’t have to step out side your door if you
have internet access.
I Listed out some free sources
Free genealogy sources:
Familysearch.org a wealth of information so many avenues
to check out.
Find A Grave.org
Intermment.
A Grave Matter.com
GenForum.org message board
Genweb *****[the state your looking for]
Rootsweb.org

Type in a ancestors name into Google push the enter
button, something just might pop up.
Maybe a book a message borad post etc…
Of course I plugged making a family history blog.
With
the mention of Find A Grave there were several folks that told me they would
give it a try.
When
I was dropping off my son for BSA camp to a friends house the dad showed me on
his I phone. That Find A Grave had a photo of his Great Grandad & his grave
marker.
Yep Find A Grave has a lot of
information there. One of my favorite
places to look for an ancestor.
