Access Genealogy

This free site just keeps growing, with recent additions ranging from early South Carolina marriages to the roster of the 1st North Dakota Volunteers. It's especially strong on American Indian data, including the 1880 Cherokee census, the Dawes Rolls, and new lists of Indians in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.



I found a couple of connections there. It also will host your family web-site.

Apple’s Tree

This anonymous blogger, a school bus driver in her nonvirtual life, writes about relatives (living and dead), family stories and photos. On the right of the blog is a handy list of indexes to names in her posts and her Carnival of Genealogy contributions, plus her “best of” posts.

BeNotForgot

Vickie Everhart profiles relatives and relates her research in this beautifully designed blog.

CaliforniaAncestors.org

Even though I don’t have California roots, this is one of my personal favorites—you get a feel for this community that hangs together to solve genealogical problems. Society member Kathryn Doyle delivers news about the group, as well as local genealogy events and resources. On Wordless Wednesday, you get a peek behind the scenes of the organization.

CastleGarden.org

Though still incomplete, this database of 10 million immigrants is nonetheless a breakthrough tool if your family arrived through the port of New York before Ellis Island opened in 1892. Still to come are 2 million records dating from the 1820s and implementation of advanced search features.



NOTE: I found a fair amount of Haslers, but none in my direct line of ancestors
