Talk:Websites for Family History Beginners

Feel page is UScentric as stands - many US only links. Geneanet, My Heritage seem more international. Also LostCousins is UK/Ireland/Canada/US.

Would add Mocavo as a genealogy search engine. Also Generous Genealogists and Mocavo for RAOGK lookups as well as adding mention of the FamilySearch catalog and free lookups for specific requests.

And I would like to link the 'Twenty Ways' article to the original publisher, The British Columbia Genealogical Society, which has this article on-line: http://www.bcgs.ca/?p=52

Is there a team looking after this page? Otherwise I will edit as above.

May I strongly recommend that social networking sites totally dedicated family history purposes be listed here as well. Two or three British ones come to mind and of which are especially helpful:

 * www.lostcousins.com
 * www.geneanet.org(?)
