American Women's History: A Research Guide

Check out these citations to print and Internet reference sources, as well as to selected large primary source collections, from a university reference librarian.

FamilyReunion.com
www.familyreunion.com
It's a one-stop Web center for reunion organizing: browse and post announcements; check out the bookstore, genealogy links and news; plug in to a search engine specifically geared toward ideas, tips, products, services and other resources for family gatherings.

International Black Sheep Society of Genealogists
blacksheep.rootsweb.com
This society supports the idea that public knowledge of murderers, thieves and other "black sheep" in your family enhances the possibility of finding more about these ancestors, who otherwise might be genealogical dead ends.

Local Catholic Church and Family History Genealogical Research Guide
home.att.net/~Local_Catholic/
Find links to archdioceses, dioceses, churches, history, genealogy and biographies for whatever geographic region you choose. If you need a refresher course on what kinds of records Catholics keep, the Webmaster (who happens to be a professional genealogist) describes the various sacraments and where to find records of them.

Mobile Genealogy
daddezio.com/mobile/
Mobile Genealogy looks rather small on a regular monitor, but fits perfectly on your 3Com Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor or IBM WorkPad personal digital assistant. Whether you're at the library and need to look up a surname, or stuck waiting for a delayed flight and want to check the latest genealogy news, you can use this site as your jumping-off point.

National Adoption Information Clearinghouse
www.calib.com/naic/
Resources are divvied up by whom they're geared to: professionals, adoptees, birth relatives and parents. There are also statistics, databases of books and organizations, legal updates on records access, help searching for birth relatives and links to search and reunion sites.

NetChurch Search
www.netchurch.com/church_search.asp
Editor's note: This site has gone offline.

Notable Women Ancestors
www.rootsweb.com/~nwa/
Celebrate the famous and everyday women among our ancestors with this spirited site dedicated to bringing their stories to light. Read about the lives of women adventurers, African-Americans, artists, entertainers, great mothers, aunts, sisters and grandmas. Learn the tales of historical humanitarians, pioneers and emigrants, royalty and witches.

USGenWeb Kidz
www.rootsweb.com/~usgwkidz/
Young researchers can add links to useful sites, post queries and questions and learn the first steps of roots research. They also can join a kids-only genealogy mailing list and connect with other students across the country who are doing genealogy projects.
