Free Ancestry 4U

From the website creator Alex Kom:  "This website is kind of a one bookmark stop that contains an organized index of all of the most popular, plus many less popular, free ancestry resources that I am aware of. It also contains information for the beginner. I have written a couple of "how to" pages for doing Google searches using "command operators",  which most people don't use or don't know about. I recently added international links that I have been book marking for years. I've been getting a lot of emails containing recommendations from individuals from all over the world."
