A couple of weeks ago, I bought Genealogy Online for Dummies. I love the Dummies books, because they are usually chockful of good information and this one was no disapointment. It has references to tons of potentially useful websites. I haven't started visiting most them yet, because I've been too busy with other forms of research and with working on the website.
But here are some of the sites I've highlighted as being potentially interesting:
www.immigrantships.net - passenger list transcriptions organized by date, ship's name, port of departure, port of arrival, passenger's surname, and captain's name. Searchable.
www.usigs.org/library/military/links/ - has links to other sites that contain military records.
www.archives.gov/research_room/alic/reference_desk/native_american_links.html - information about American Indian resources available from the National Archives and Records administration
www.genealogy.net/gene/genealogy.html - German genealogy pages
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - the General Register Office for Scotland, which features searchable indexes of births/baptisms and banns/marriages from Old Parish registers dating from 1553 to 1854
There are a lot more, but these are the ones that I want to try first.
