These Are a Few of My Favorite Sites... |
|
GENERAL |
|
I'm trying to be a little original here, and only put a few of the standard links you see on other Web Sites. These are choices you probably don't normally find, but are good none the less. |
|
Even some links if you are traveling to do your genealogy! |

This is an interesting browser I found, off the beaten path, of the "index" variety. It is very category specific. When you get to the main page click on "history" then "genealogy". There are oodles of choices from there such as marriage, obituaries, civil war, maps, etc. |

There were quite a few in this neck of the woods. There was a settlement in Elba in Genesee County. There were also several Quakers in Niagara County, which borders Genesee County on the north west side. Since they traveled every where for their monthly meetings I felt they were important to include. |
