internet resources

No.

Put in "Irish Resources" in the search window

Look at related Projects

And then -- check a blank project. It's a wiki page and can be continually edited using WikiMedia language.

I guess.. I don't really see what you mean. That seems pretty complicated. Why isnt' there a direct link?

Beth

The Project overview works like a Wiki. Anyone collaborating can edit in more data. So if you start a Project called internet resources, and a new resource is added, all they need to do is edit in the link.

There are 2000 projects. You want to make sure a Project doesn't already exist on a topic, that's why you use search.

I think we have been spammed, unless any of you folks want to win an iPad :)

Beth, the spammer has been reported.

What a great resource! Here's something for the mix. It's a family website I found last week:

http://www.lamont-young.com/

Linda, I liked the joke at the bottom of the page on that Young link you posted. Geni humor!

I like that too, Maria! That site has great photos and histories. I'm just wondering how accurate the trees are. It's either greatly cleared up my confusion on why my Lamont-Young tree is a mess or further confused my already messed up tree. Argh!

Linda,
If the site has verifiable sources you can generally rely on its accuracy. If it doesn't, then cross-check with your other sources for the family. If everything matches reasonably well, then you can trust the new site.

Just a reminder -- and I am sure you already know this -- the best source is a contemporary document -- something from the ancestor's own time and place -- recording an event in the ancestor's life, such as birth, death, marriage certificates, will, deeds, census, etc.

Site sponsored by the State of South Carolina. This particular link will take you to notable African-Americans from Carolina history.

Here's a link to a project on the Heraldic Visitations - a set of genalogical census performed in the 16th and 17th centuries in England. The resources section of the project has direct links to the digitized books, which are all free domain.

http://www.geni.com/projects/Heraldic-Visitations-of-England-and-Wales

Also, there is an Irish Visitation as well, but I couldn't find all the volumes of it online. Still, at least three volumes are available on google books and archive.org

Lots of great links here. My thought for today is that it's probably useful for most if not all projects to link to this public discussion, because not all project users may otherwise be aware. Also some of the links here could usefully be placed in individual projects as relevant. Many already are!

The two links below appeared on an External Links discussion.
They have been moved here, as this link also appears on Genealogy Specialists on Geni.com. Project.----http://www.geni.com/projects/Genealogy-Specialists-on-Geni

Links for Ireland research from the Irish Genealogical Society

This site is totally up my tree. I'm always trying to figure out how places looked in the past.

http://www.whatwasthere.com/

One web site should interest any genealogist or historian. has a simple purpose: provide a platform where anyone can easily upload a photograph with two straightforward tags to provide context: Location and Year. If enough people upload enough photographs in enough places, together we will weave together a photographic history of the world.

PS We should move this discussion over to a project and get it organized and more searchable.

I agree, Erica!!!

Mary, thanks for the Nova Scotia links. Did you know some of my Jamaican Maroons were exiled there between 1795 and 1800?

Newfoundland Church Records

You can tell I'm researching Eastern Canadian provinces. Here is an extensive collection of Newfoundland church records. When I couldn't find census records for Newfoundland among Canadian records, I learned today that Newfoundland didn't become a part of Canada until after WWII.
Kenneth, I didn't know about the Jamaican link. I recently read that the British took slaves from the southern plantations to Canada during the War of 1812.
