50 Overlooked & Underutilized Genealogy Gem Websites in 50 Minutes

Many valuable and overlooked databases don't make headline news. They are usually hiding in plain sight. Every day, new ones are being created. Many are not genealogically focused and are genealogically leverageable. All can be explored from the comfort of your home 24/7. Most are FREE. Let's explore 50 juicy gems from around the world covering a range of topics from African American to Archivist/Scholar to US (broad and narrowly focused) to the UK and so much more – you will make NEW discoveries. Many of these are my “go-to” websites, a part of my genealogy research toolkit, which I regularly use.

An explosion of newspaper platforms and digitized issues has occurred, and COVID-19 helped accelerate new and old newspaper digitization projects. We’ll cover oldies but goodies to brand new projects worldwide! The focus is online access and FREE!

Focus on North Carolina: Crime and Jurisdiction – Uncovering Genealogical Records in Unexpected Places

Understanding the legal jurisdiction and geography of ancestors and events is critical in finding needed genealogical records.

Focus on North Carolina: Pathways to the Past – Exploring Road and Toll Records for Genealogical Research

Road and toll records tell us a tremendous amount about our ancestors.  They fill in gaps by providing information that might not be found in the usually explored governmental records.  Best of all, they help you learn about those living closest to your ancestors – their FAN Club (Friends, Associates, and Neighbors).  They might also connect family members explicitly, give us the details needed to identify where our ancestors lived (sometimes vague deeds are not enough), and provide additional information. Learn about these less-explored records and the incredible genealogically-leverageable data they include.
