Net Family History 010 01 0 101 01010100 Everton’s Best Rated Genealogy Sites This issue of the Helper continues a comprehensive review of websites on the Internet, those with the greatest value to family historians. The Net Family History (NFH) magazine within a magazine allows in-depth coverage relating to genealogical research on the Internet. (Note the black bleed at the edge of each page so you can thumb directly to the NFH pages). Each issue includes a new edition of Everton’s Best Rated Genealogy Sites, featuring reviews written by the NFH editors. We are presenting annotated lists of genealogy websites, overviews of specific categories of websites, new resources, and major updates to existing websites. Websites featured in Everton’s Best Rated Genealogy Sites, in our opinion are of great value to genealogists. There is no rating system, but the fact that a website is mentioned places that website among the top websites online. Any website selected for review in Everton’s Best Rated Genealogy Sites, is granted an award and a logo that can be included at the site to recognize it as one of the “Everton’s Best Rated Genealogy Sites.” The Best Scandinavian Sites on the Net By Jeffr ey A. Bo c k m a n We continue our look at foreign countries by moving up to the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. While it is impossible to cover everything about researching within a single county in an article, let alone several, I have attempted to provide some basic information about the various records that are available or in some cases the lack thereof. The intent of this series is to look at websites that provide access to images of real records. There are, however a few “non-image” sites that have also been included, such as indexes to or transcribed data from civil, parish or other official records where the documents are not available online or are only available for a fee. Getting Started One of the best places to learn about the various records and their availability when starting to do research in a new county is to review the Research Outlines at: Family Search www.familysearch.org—Free Site: www.family search.org/Eng/Search/RG/frameset rg.asp They provide information about the history and availability of Church records, Civil Registration, Court Records, Census Records, Probate Records, Immigration, and many others. Pick the first letter of the country or location of interest and look for the “Country Research Outline.” Also check to see if they have produced a version of their new publication titled “Finding Records of Your Ancestors, Country” for the country of interest. These are downloadable and printable files that include sample images of the various record types. World GenWebProject www.worldgenweb.org—Free site Another good place to learn about a new location is the local GenWebProject site. These are volunteer projects and the content can vary greatly but they can provide information about local records and resources along with links to online or transcribed records. Start at the World GenWebProject and then select the region, the country, and then finally the local sites. They should also have links to helpful local organizations and any online records. Major Issues On the good side, there are wonderful church/parish records in these countries. The FamilySearch “Finding Records” guides show samples of the various parish records with translations of the column headings. Unfortunately you will need to know which parish your ancestors lived in to be able to find and use them. Some of the challenges to researching within Scandinavia are the lack of fully indexed countrywide censuses to help you find exactly where your ancestors Ja n ua ry/Fe b r u a r y 2009 Ev e r t o n’s Ge n e a l o g i c a l He l p e r © 87
