New Resources for Genealogists

When you get buried in old documents and the criss-crossing lines of generational charts, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the new resources for genealogical work. At least once a week, if not more frequently, I try to do searches for genealogical news. Here are some findings, you may find helpful:
