50 Overlooked & Underutilized Genealogy Gem Websites in 50 Minutes

Let’s explore 50 off-the-beaten-path websites of interest to genealogists – a quick snapshot of these mostly free and genealogically relevant resources that have caught my eye, from websites large to small, broad to narrow, based in the US or abroad.  Many of these are home-grown databases created by an organization, entity, or sometimes just one person.  You might find an invaluable piece of information. Let’s look at some hidden gems available at your fingertips that you might not be aware of. You will discover at least one (and usually more) new-to-you resources that fit your current research needs.  Or squirrel these resources away for a rainy day in the future. Even if some of these resources may not obviously suit your current research needs, I guarantee you will want to check them out!  Many of these are already in my genealogy research toolkit.  After a recent update, 40 of the 50 original websites are still included and relevant – they are that useful to genealogy research!
