101 Best New Web Sites for Genealogists With new family history sites popping up every day, how do you know where to click first? Start with our annual guide to the latest and greatest on the Web.
Technophobes can raise all the eyebrows they want, but the Internet for genealogists is here to stay.
Sure, there's plenty of junk out there: poorly researched pedigrees, incorrect information, links that don't work, shady researchers for hire and scam artists aplenty. But some real gems await you, too: great tips and resources from professionals and seasoned hobbyists, handy tools and references, millions of records to search, original documents and maps to download, fellow researchers volunteering their time to assist you, and rich pieces of history to help interpret your own ancestors' lives.
Since last year's debut of the wildly popular feature article "101 Best Web Sites," Family Tree Magazine has sorted through thousands of new and, in some cases, improved Web sites of potential use to genealogists. We carefully reviewed each site for what it offers family historians, how easy it is to use and, finally, its design (hey, with millions of sites popping up each day, looks count!).
From thousands of sites arose the cream of the crop: valuable to genealogists, smooth to navigate and, in many cases, easy on the eyes. Now you can skip countless hours of fruitless searching and head straight to 101 of the best new Web sites for genealogists. Here you can access all 101 sites—just use the catgories below to get to a list of links.
You'll find other great sites for family history in the August 2001 issue of Family Tree Magazine.
