Genealogy Searching Suggestions

Suggestions for beginning Genealogy searching:

If you are searching Whitney relatives, have you throughly looked through Robert L. Ward's Whitney site?

Also become familiar with Jon Aston's Rootsweb Whitney Database site.

The best genealogy search site is probably Gendex. If you can find info online, you normally get the E-mail address of a contact.

Search the Rootsweb Mailing List Archives!

Other names can also be searched at the Genmatch site.

Rootsweb Global Surname Search search Rootsweb

You might want to subscribe to the WHITNEY-L or another named mailing list athttp://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/surnames/surnames-w.html

Become a volunteer for Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness or request help

Try name searches using regular search engines such as Infoseekand Excite, or AltaVista.  You may have to use AND or quotation marks with different search engines to narrow your focus initially.  For instance, on Infoseek, search "Micah Whitney".

For folks currently living, you can look up E-mail addresses or phone numbers and addresses.  See if folks with the surname you are seeking still live in that locality.

Also use the Social Security Death Index or Ancestry World Tree that you can search free at the Ancestry site.  It will have information on many of your American relatives who died in the last 100 years.

The US GenWeb Project may be helpful.  Especially the Georgia GenWeb Project: Columbia County andJefferson County.

For New York State, Philadelphia (home of Erastus Whitney), Jefferson County, is well represented on their Genweb site.

And check out the Family Tree Maker site.  Their Family Finder Index Search Expert will find folks in MANY census records, and the Internet Family Finder is a good search engine.

E-mail links to folks willing to do Lookups on Family Tree Maker WFT CD's.

Libraries have copies of in-state census indexes and records if that could help.

A genealogy search tool new to me ("I found it").

Also Latter Day Saints (Family History Centers) have lots of genealogy info available at many sites around the country that mirrors the huge Salt Lake City resource to some degree.  My understanding is that anyone is welcome to use it.

Cyndi Howell's page gives references to lots of Genealogy sites including LDS.

As does this Genealogy Resources page.
