Free Geneology Resources - Rootsweb.com

The 'Free Resources' page has been updated to include Rootsweb as a resource for your family tree research. This is primarily a community for people to connect who have common ancestry.

There are a range of resources, including Rootsweb Surnames List (RSL), the World Connect Project and user-contributed databases. As with all user-contributed databases, it is important to verify the information through official records (if possible) - just because it is on the web, it does not mean it is correct.

I have used it on a few occasions as part of my genealogical research and it has helped point me in the right direction for looking for more information. While some of the information has been correct, there have been occasions when it hasn't. If you keep this in mind, there is no reason why this cannot add to your family tree research.
