Re: HIT: Genealogy sites and software

[Elizabeth Letterly <eletterl@ABELINK.COM>]

As so often happens, the New York Times today had an article on researching
family histories online.  Do you think their reporters read LM_NET for
ideas?  :-)  They also mentioned: Genealogy.com, www.ellisisland.org (but
cautioned your best time for searching it is around 2 a.m.!),
http://FamilyHistory.com and http://RootsWeb.com that both have areas where
people can share information and/or chat, http://MyTrees.com (costly though
at $100/year but free, the Times said, for a few months in exchange for
family tree information that you share), http://accessgenealogy.com,
http://USGenWeb.com (tombstone information), and http://www.ccharity.com
(wills of New World slave owners in 18th & 9th century).

The Times also mentioned a website that sounded interested before purchasing
any technology, www.compuright.org, that will tell you about fee-charing
sites.

Thanks, Madeline, for posting these.  Interesting...
