General Interest Genealogical web links

[A little stale.]

Following are some of the sites I find most useful/interesting. There are tens of thousands of others, and it's been a while since I've been out there, so there are probably ones that are significantly more interesting.

Comprehensive sites:

To explore the thousands of genealogy resources the web has to offer, you can’t go wrong with the following three sites:

• genealogy.com, a commercial site with nice search capabilities and lots of useful guidance. ancestry.com is similar, if not actually identical.
• Cyndi’s List, the grandmother of all genealogy sites containing links to tens of thousands of other genealogical resources.
• US GenWeb Project, a comprehensive state-by-state, county-by-county collection of research information.

Recording, tracking and publishing your own research:

• TMG (The Master Genealogist) is, in my opinion, the best program available for managing a genealogical project. Don’t miss it if you’re serious about genealogical research.
• GED2HTML is the program I used to create the linked family tree used in these pages. It takes a a standard GEDCOM file and creates a series of linked HTML files containing a dynamic family tree.

Making connections with others:

• I haven't looked at the Rand Genealogy club page in a while, but they used to link people with similar research interests.
• Past Connections!, is an interesting site that encourages people with unwanted family memorabilia (letters, bibles, etc.) to hook up with other family members who might want it.
• Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
