Each year, Family Tree Magazine publishes its list of the 101 best genealogy websites. They love sharing their favorite sites with readers and honoring those who create these sites. We just heard that the new list is out–and we’re on it!
This year, the list focuses on websites that provide genealogy information and records for free. Categories include:
- Big genealogy websites
- Online vital and grave records
- Military genealogy websites
- Genealogy immigration websites
- Genealogy map websites
- Old newspaper genealogy websites
- Genealogy library websites
- US genealogy websites
- Websites for sharing your genealogy
- Online genealogy technology tools
- UK & Irish genealogy websites
- International genealogy websites
- Genealogy social history websites
- Online genealogy tips and help
Genealogy Gems appears in that final category. Here’s what Family Tree Magazine has to say about us:
More than 200 free podcast episodes with research experts make Lisa Louise Cooke’s “genealogy radio” website a must, along with how-to videos, a genealogy book club and a helpful news blog.
We share this category with only five other honorees, including RootsTech and YouTube! Click here for the full list of 101 Best Websites.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that in these 101 Best Free Websites – including international ones, they would not find space for TROVE – the Australian Repository for “Not just Newspapers’ – this is from their Home Page as at 11 August 2017
Find and get over 540,699,577 Australian and online resources:
books, images, historic newspapers, maps, music, archives and more
Why does it ignore this website which not only is TOTALLY FREE (that is their own statement) but also allow and WELCOMES corrections to the OCR. The top five correctors have corrected in excess of FIFTEEN MILLION lines of newspapers and other documents.
An excellent suggestion! I love TROVE and it has something for everyone around the world.
