Free Genealogy Resources

One of the best known geneaology websites is Cyndi's List that provides links to family history resources by surname, location and so much more. Visit it here: http://www.cyndislist.com 

 

Cyndi's List also has a large webpage with a wealth of free resources for genealogists. Find that webpage here: http://www.cyndislist.com/freestuff.htm

 

Categories of free resources include:

  • Charts and forms
  • Software
  • Databases to search online
  • Surname and family newsletters
  • Guides to free look-ups and searches by volunteers

There's more on the that page, and the site itself is actually a remarkable free resource for those doing family history.

 

You can find more information and ideas from Cyndi via her blog:

If you've not visited Cyndi's List in a while, take a few mintues to see if she has resources to help you with a brickwall. Consider a new angle and look for new resources. Genealogy resources are being added to the Web every day, so check it out!
