There are millions of websites devoted to Genealogy. Most are very comprehensive but difficult to navigate. If you notice most of those websites do not have much original material. In fact they tend to refer you to 10 to 20 large websites. that give you duplicate information.
How are we different?
- We encourage free membership in our communities where you can receive free and low cost Genealogy courses that will show you how to find ancestors. The communities also allow you to participate with others in finding answers to your research questions.
- Provide you with an understanding of the basic Genealogy websites, databases and depositories that will be the beginning point for your researcn into finding your ancestors.
- Members receive access to databases that are not found on other sites using our unique data finder tool.
