Lecture Overview

Anyone who has watched Who Do You Think You Are? knows that many genealogical answers are waiting in the databases of that commercial site. But there is so much more available on the web for today's family researcher, and most of it is free. From ship's passenger records from Ellis Island and Castle Garden, to huge databases of vital records -- including many images -- at FamilySearch, to the vast repositories of government records at the National Archives and the Library of Congress, this lecture explores the world of genealogy resources beyond Ancestry.com.
