Genealogy site reviews

In this section I will be reviewing (from a personal standpoint) some free and subscription websites looking at their strengths and weaknesses. These reviews are mainly aimed at newcomers to genealogy, or those who have not used the sites before. All of the sites have valuable information for genealogists.

Subscription websites:

Ancestry

Burke's Peerage and Gentry

findmypast

Genes Reunited

Lost Cousins

The Genealogist

Stirnet

Free genealogy websites:

The Peerage

 

Some public libraries and family history societies have one or more of these subscription websites available to members. While this is great if you don't have a computer, want to check them out, or can't afford a sub, it is much harder to take advantage of uploading your own database and maintaining it. If you're committed to genealogy, a subscription to at least one of these sites is recommended.

You may find some of the sites below will further expand your genealogy possibilities, particularly if your ancestors emigrated to or were born in the US.
