Top 10 Favourite Genealogy Websites- Here's Mine, What's Yours?

Randy over at Genea-Musings is taking a reader survey on your top 10 favourite genealogy websites. Here are my favourites based on my own particular research needs.


1. Ancestry.ca - can’t live without them

2. Ship’s List – great for seeking out passenger lists, new info added monthly

3. Irish Family History Foundation- for my hard to find Irish ancestors

4. Irish Origins- my second stop on my search for my Irish ancestors

5. Ontario Archives – for ordering microfilms on Inter-library loan

6. Google – can’t live without them for general searches, maps, books and gadgets

7. OntarioGenWeb.com – keeping on top of Ontario records

8. Rootsweb.com – my mailing lists and forums

9. Familysearch.org – just in case they have something ancestry doesn’t. I also used them for ordering microfilms from other countries.

10. Find-a-grave – check in every so often in search of a few graves I haven’t been able to locate.

These are in no particular order as it would depend on which branch and ancestor I am searching on any given day.  Feel free to weigh in, stop at Genea-Musing with your favourites.
