A marvelous way to point and click your way to genealogy in any part
of the United States. Clicking on the USGenWeb link will take you to the
main page, where you can click
to choose a state and then a county. Each county has surname
and query data bases in addition to local information not likely to be
found elsewhere on the web, plus links to other sites of local interest.
-
Roots Web

"The Internet's Oldest and Largest Genealogy Site," RootsWeb provides
an amazing amount of material for free. It hosts mailing lists, surname
lists and searches, user mailing lists, and much, much more.

View, download, and print out actual copies of your ancestors' land
patents. There's "access to more than two million Federal land title records
for the Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908."
Don't worry about the "Eastern." States currently included
are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. More states (presumably
what we now call eastern) are promised soon.

State Archives Historical County Records Guide
-
If you want to know what county records are available and where they're
stored, this is the place to check.
-
Records of
Interest to Genealogists and Students of Family History at the Oregon State
Archives
-
Search the State of Oregon's Archives data base. Not all counties
are included, and not all records for included counties have been transcribed
for the web. That's not a problem, though, because you'll find instructions
for sending an email search request to the Archives, and the price is right
—
just 25¢ per page plus postage at this writing.
