BEST GENEALOGY INTERNET SITES
While the Internet is a magnificent tool for the 21st Century genealogist, I suspect we can all agree that it can be frustrating and, at times, overwhelming. Or do you continue to end up at sites that want money? Do you understand Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts, Webinars, ezines, Facebook, and Twitter AND how these FREE websites can help you further your family history research? Can you find the BEST of the BEST websites, dedicated to your specific area of research? This course offers hundreds of links, separated and easily searchable by YOUR area of interest! I have been compiling, monitoring, and tracking these sites for over three years so you rest assured you really will be pointed in the right direction. Most sites are free, many are obscure and not easily found, and some ‘official’ sites are pay-for-view or subscription based … but well worth the small cost. You will be amazed at what you can find, from your own home computer, any time you wish to search!! Completion of Unpuzzling Your Past and New FamilySearch.org would be MOST beneficial.
