Internet Guide

With so much available on the world wide web it can be hard knowing where to start.

Start with reputable sites that have built up a good reputation in the genealogical community - the Family Records resources section lists some of the best family history sites.

Subscribe to a mailing list – these will allow you to find genealogical information from all over the world and correspond with researchers anywhere. For example look at RootswebExternal website - opens in a new window.

You may also find search engines useful for finding family history information that may not be found on a genealogical website.
