Not on the internet and not free, but a great resource for buying family genealogy books. I have found several well written genealogy books about families in my tree that are well written with references and numerous old pictures. Worth the $15.

Wow, the Doomsday book is now available to view ...

Mary Kathleen, you sure are doing some great research ...
I look forward to seeing more of your findings.

When did the Dooms Day Book become available? How do you get into it. It's a g reat book. I like looking through it when I am able to. This would make it a lot easier.

I'm not sure. I just googled Doomsday Book and found the link. Mary

Mary Kathleen, you get the gold star today! The Domesday Book is so vital to medieval English genealogy. This is a fantastic find!

2/21/2011 at 5:16 PM

I'm wondering if anyone is collecting all these links into a list format?

Private User

Beth, are you volunteering?

Just kidding, it would be a full-time job.

2/21/2011 at 7:23 PM

LOL!!! no. But if there was a place to enter it then people could do it themselves...

Do you have a good suggestion for going about this? I thought we had started a project, but in a list over 2500 projects, I couldn' t find it. I would use the list more if it were in alphabetical order by topic, with URL to follow.

Mary, you have been our biggest contributor to this discussion. Do you have any suggestions?

2/21/2011 at 8:15 PM

As far as a list of useful websites is concerned...one already exists. The web site is http://www.cyndislist.com/ it has 281,420 genealogy and family links in 180+ categories, including 9,900+ new and uncategorized:)

I don't think they have the doomsday book link but there is the ability to suggest new web sites that will get added to the list.

Also https://learning.familysearch.org/ has +40,000 wiki articles on various localities and issue relating to genealogy research.

I've been wanting to do something like that for my own use, but right now, I'm trying to do research for my trip to Ireland and really can't take on another project. We might look at something like Cyndi's list for ideas on how to categorize, then copy and paste these threads into the categories we want.. I've been posting the links on this discussion because they are easier to find than on my "Favorites" tab. Does Geni have a location where we could organize as a reference? My computer skills have grown from not great to getting okay, and I know others would have some great ideas on how to go about it. Perhaps the Geni staff could work on this as a service for a reference section?

Maybe we could do a wiki?

just save this page to your desktop, then click on it whenever you wish to see the links ;-)

2/22/2011 at 7:26 PM

LOL Anne. Nah..... I was hoping to get some traction on started an organized list of links.

How about using Projects? Easier wiki language, on the site, and easy to find.

2/22/2011 at 9:54 PM

I think Geni needs a "resources" section. Why don't we propose that? Projects doesn't work as it's just like this, a message board. Right?

NO! The overview page of projects is a mini wiki. Go take a look. There's an Irish Resources Project already.

2/22/2011 at 10:23 PM

LOL.. I'm right here, no need to yell :) Ah... I will. I've only encountered projects that are discussions.

Is this what you are referring to? http://www.geni.com/discussions/88774
