While this site has it roots in Europe, it has a lot of features to offer genealogists from all over the World including DNA, colorizing photos, reducing/eliminating the need for an external genealogy program (no matter if you are a Windows or a Mac user), and a free consistency checker (on and off-line) to name just a few. This site also provides the ability to generate eight different types of charts, and a family book.

Once there were phone books and city directories where you could look up information about your friends and your community.  (And not just for large cities-even small towns.)  These directories can yield many details vital to our genealogical research.  Come learn where to find them and how to use them.
