Roots
Tracing family history used to be difficult. In the days before personal computers and
data networking, performing the necessary record research in far flung libraries,
courthouses and cemeteries could take a lifetime. Sometimes logistical barriers
prevented the proper research from ever being carried out.
With data networking capabilities, researchers can exchange information, tips and
family records. Now, a genealogy buff in Toronto or Wien can ask a favor of a comrade
in Buenos Aires or Sidney to look up a record or two, check out a graveyard or provide
some missing bit of information about local history and family names. Sometimes these
networking hobbyists even discover that they are related!
You may want to start with the Genealogy Beginners Guide's tips, news, articles
and resources to help you research your family history and trace your ancestors.
ROOTS L, and the many Usenet newsgroups in the soc.genealogy hierarchy (like
soc.genealogy.misc for starters), are all about genealogy. Here, you will get tips about
tools and techniques. You can exchange information about ancestors, and find new
friends and partners for joint research, and learn about genealogical Web sites.
On the World Wide Web, start with the following genealogy links:
