GENDEX (formerly located at <www.gendex.com>), a genealogy index site and three-time pick for Family Tree Magazine's 101 Best Web Sites, shut down April 22 after eight years in business.

The site indexed more than 22,000 online databases of information on 60 million people, so users could search many Web sites without visiting each one. GENDEX itself wasn't a database of family tree files, though, so there's little original genealogical information to miss.
