I have my annual
present for you ... Just over a year ago, I did a multi-part years “20 Free and
(Relatively) New Genealogy and Family History Resources” (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7)
As I trawl genealogy newsletters,
blogs, and elsewhere, I kept an email folder of all the news items that aren’t
“big enough” for a full post and yet sound useful for genealogists and family
historians. These range from how-to type
information to databases. There is so
much information out there and it’s impossible to fully blog about most of it.
In order that those collected don’t go
to waste, I am again planning to create a few posts where I present you with 20
“relatively” new resources and the associated hyperlink. That’s it; a very no frills list. If the
title doesn’t convey enough info I will add a note about what content caught my
eye ...
I will be doing this from oldest to
youngest in my queue – so, some of these may seem familiar to you and probably
less familiar as I get to the more recently collected pieces.
2. Canadiana.org -- a coalition of memory institutions dedicated to
providing broad access to Canada

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow – Digital Volumes – vaccination registers covering
1801-1831 (fascinating!)

Bedlam Burial Ground at Liverpool
Street London
UNITED STATES

18. Penn Libraries Launches

19. Congregational Library & Archives, History
Matters – Series I: Church Records -- This series contains
collections of church records documenting early Puritan, Congregational, and
Christian (denomination) history in New England
Editor’s Note: As of today, each
of the above links worked. Now, whether
the links in any of the identified articles work, I cannot vouch for that. And, armed with the information provided, it
should be relatively easy to get to determine where the discussed database
currently resides. If you get really
stuck, drop me an email and I’ll try to ferret out the recalcitrant link or
cross out my entry in the above list!
Editor’s Note: Know of a neat
resource that you think might be a hidden gem?
