Overlooked Genealogy Resources

If you read Internet Genealogy, you might remember Diane Richards' column called Net Notes. She describes recent website discoveries in each issue. She combined a group of these in a presentation called "Fifty Overlooked Genealogical Resources in Fifty Minutes." I am reporting a partial list of websites she mentioned. You can Google any that are of interest.

Endangered Archives Program: funds digitization projects to preserve content of archives.

Mexican War Soldiers and Sailors

Europeana Newspapers

Frederick Douglas Newspapers

From the Page: a resource for collaborative transcriptions

Crowd Source Indexing: created for genealogical indexing; both large and small projects

The Ancestor Hunt

Online Genealogy Records: Google "death indexes"

Linkpendium

Digital Public Library of America

Can Genealogy: a handy guide to the best Canadian resources
