Recommendations

Home > Genealogy - Store > Recommendations

I have various ads and other types of advertisements throughout this site. All of these are for worthwhile products or services (usually pertaining to genealogy.) Clicking on them and buying something or subscribing helps support this site.  This site costs me a lot, and considering my financial and health situation I need all the help I can get!

I'd like to use this page to recommend a few products and services that I'm highly impressed with. For more details visit my subscriptions page, or my other pages devoted to genealogy books, genealogy data CDs, and genealogy software. I also have my own publications that I've written.

You can find a great deal of genealogical information on the Internet for free, and it is a worthwhile effort to find it. However, for some records, you have to go the depositary where they are kept (Public Libraries, College Libraries, State Archives, National Archives, County Court Houses, etc.) This is also a worthwhile effort, but not always practical. For a reasonable annual fee, you can sign up with a group like Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com (or others) and have instant access to countless valuable records.  I am a member of Ancestry.com and have been for many years. I was also subscribed to Genealogy.com but had to drop it due to my financial situation, though I liked them a great deal.

Highly Recommended:

Visit my Genealogy Subscription page for details on each Subscription service. I describe what they include. Click on each link to get more information including the cost. Some offer monthly payments, others quarterly or annual. All of these services are very worthwhile, but my main recommendation is Ancestry.com's US and Canada collection, and their Census Collection. Click on the link above to find out more.
