Roots Web

One of the links on our blog takes you to the Roots Web home page. Don't forget to try this free website. The message boards and mailing lists are of particular interest. You can find mailing lists for surnames or locations. Try your names and towns to see if there is something that applies to your home town or one of your surnames.

The message boards can also be searched by surname or location. Roots Web archives the messages, so many are from the early 2000s. I usually try the county first and then search for a surname of interest. You can respond to a message or leave your own.

Roots Web also has family trees, so it is another place to try your ancestors' names. They might be here instead of on one of the subscription sites.
