    About this ebook

    Free Family Tree Resources
    All links revised and updated September 2015

    Instead of spending hours searching the Internet for free genealogy websites, use this guide to shortcut your search. 

    Use the Same Sites as an Internet Genealogy Expert
    This guide contains 101 of the best websites for free genealogy. This One-Hour Genealogist guide was researched, tested and compiled by foremost Internet genealogy expert, Nancy Hendrickson. Using her years of online experience, Nancy has put together her favorite and most-used free sites. Each of the first 50 sites include an Overview, of the site an explanation of Why This Site, and a suggested Search Strategy. 

    How The Guide is Organized
    Sites are grouped by:

    military 
    social history 
    immigration 
    databases 
    odds 'n ends

    This guide contains links to free databases or great statewide information for each of the 50 states n addition to Nancy's "favorite 50" sites. And, because some sites are just too good to be left out, you'll find another 10 (bringing the total to 111) that Nancy couldn't do without in her own research.

    Don't Waste Your Precious Research Time
    Can you find all of these sites on your own without this guide? Absolutely! But why spend YOUR time finding free sites when you could be finding ancestors!

    *Dear U.K. genealogy friends, this guide is for United States researchers only.
