Free Resource: Family History Daily

I’m always on the lookout for new genealogy resources, even better if they are free.

Family History Daily has been in business since 2013, but I have to admit that, although I’ve heard of it, I never really looked into it until a genea-friend forwarded an e-mail from them.

Landing on the home page shows options for Beginner Help, Online Courses and Expert Guides, which are a series of free articles with all kinds of tips about methodology and resources. Three of the articles can be seen at the bottom of the image.

There is also an option to click on FREE GENEALOGY. This page also hosts a series of free articles all about resources.

Articles are timely and include “all about” topics such as Artificial Intelligence and DNA.

Family History Daily also offers some online courses. However, NOTE that I am only sharing this information. I have never taken a course with them so can’t speak to value for money.

This is a current list of courses at the time I’m writing this post:

If you are interested in a class, they apparently offer an all-inclusive yearly subscription, which can be cancelled at any time. Contact them for more information.

For those who aren’t looking for courses, be sure to check out all the other free areas of their website. There are lots of learning opportunities to be found in their informative, free articles.

Exploring Less Common Genealogy Websites, Part 2

As I looked through my own list of genealogy resources, I found so many different websites that I decided to split the list first posted on 8 June 2024 into two parts. Here is the second half of the list:

Between Part 1 and 2 of this list, your free time this summer will be filled with lots of genealogy rabbit holes to explore. Have Fun!

Exploring Less Common Genealogy Websites

As we head into summer and seek some relief from the heat, what better time is there to enjoy some genealogy browsing time?

Here is a list of twenty genealogy websites, all of which have been around for many years, but which remain more obscure than the big name websites.

How many of these websites have you used for your research? I’ve remembered so many websites, that Part 2 will post soon.
