Genealogical  Links

 

Since I started on this journey more than 10 years ago the number of sites providing genealogical data has increased dramatically, there are numerous sites that provide lists of links to other lists of links to often inaccessible data (unless you are a ‘member’) or lists of places to physically view said records. 

You will find few such links here, most of these links will take you directly to sources of readily available data.

This page was created as  much for my own use as yours in that my ‘favorites’ is becoming so full as to be difficult to navigate, listed here are mostly UK and Canada genealogical sites.

I will simply use this page to go to all those sites that I use frequently, feel free to bookmark it and do the same.
