Here's a tip for those of you helping patrons do genealogy searches; it's from the Genealib list. Put the surname and state in the Google search box. Be sure to put 2-word states ("North Carolina") in quotation marks. Adding a county will help narrow the search. Laurie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharon Centanne Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 6:31 AM To: Librarians Serving Genealogists Subject: [Genealib] [Fwd: Re: [A-L] Ancestry.com free alternative] I have also had a lot of luck finding records lately by googling the surname and the word genweb. Many thousands of genweb volunteers all over the country and the world voluntarily put cemetery surveys, vital records, church records, census records, etc. online, and these are easy to cut and paste into the notes section of Family Tree Maker or other word processing software. Happy New Year!
