In the course of doing research, one always finds great resources to note and then revisit periodically!  Below is our list (current as of the date is listed at the bottom!) organized by location  -- it does not include all the sites ever visited or used.  Some of these are tried and true resources, some are high profile and some are more obscure!  This list is ever-evolving as resources come and go and as our research progresses. Maybe one of these will make a difference to your research!

There are several Genealogy e-mail newsletters that we receive.  "Family Tree Magazine" provides a news service edition that we can share with you.  Though we recommend you subscribe to this newsletter, if you don't, you will always find some relevant current bit presented on this page .
