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.
Totally free sites with readily available data.
