Family Tree Databases
Rootsweb's free collection of user-contributed genealogy databases. In
my opinion, it's the best free genealogy resource out there. Since
anyone can upload their data, and since most people aren't good at
documenting their sources, not all of the data is correct, so use some
caution. However, it's still an excellent place to begin. Why
not upload your database too? |
| Our Roots
A university and government-sponsored website dedicated to digitizing local
Canadian history books. It's online collection is growing steadily,
and has full text search capability. |
| World
War I Attestation Papers
A Veterans Affairs website featuring enlistment documents of soldiers in the
Canadian Expeditionary Force. |
| Canadian
Virtual War Memorial
Online tribute to Canadian soldiers who gave their lives in war, including
photos and memorabilia from family members. |
| Ontario
Cemetery Finding Aid
Online database of transcribed tombstones in Ontario. Unfortunately it
only includes names, not dates or other information on the tombstones. |
| Family
History Archives at Brigham Young University
Numerous digitized genealogy books, including full-text search
capability. Two books I've used in my database are the Henrich Clemmer
and the Dilman Kolb family histories. |
| Legacy
Family Tree Software
In my opinion, the best free genealogy software out there. Easy to
use, and lots of features. Try it out and see. They also have a
version you can purchase, which I've found helpful for managing larger
databases, but the free version served me well for my first few years of genealogy research.
