Genealogy websites skyrocket your research!

The awesome power of the internet can allow you to do more research more quickly than ever before. There are websites with thousands of pages of information or research advice, some devoted to particular names and places, and some for specialist enquiries.

The beauty of the internet is that it is worldwide and any site can be accessed whether it originates in the US, UK or Australia. Here are a few examples for you to browse and some directories that will lead you to thousands of other genealogy websites. Many will allow you to put in keywords and phrases to focus your search to your particular area of interest.

Some sites allow you to search databases for free, while others may require a subscription to access certain parts of the website.
