3. Cyndi's List ( http://www.cyndislist.com )
4. RootsWeb ( http://www.rootsweb.com )
5. USGENWEB ( http://www.usgenweb.com ) contains links to each state which in turn have links to each county within the state. Each county site is maintained by a volunteer who puts in county information--from the sublime to the ridicules. Highly recommended !
