About Me

Name:
Location: Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada

I am a retired online school teacher. I love family history. From 2007-2020, I spent much of my time providing part-time support for the world's largest free family history site https://familysearch.org This is very rewarding. I have helped others with the Family Tree and related FamilySearch products.
In 2010-2018 I served in the Edmonton_Alberta_Riverbend_Family_History_Centre..I have a FHC blog at Bill's Family History Center Blog Since 2020 I have been a family history consultant for Edmonton Alberta North Stake.

50 Most Popular Genealogy Websites for 2011
Have you checked out the most popular genealogy websites?
Some of these I use regularly. Many others I do not. Some don't seem that interesting to me (e.g. directories of websites), but I will be checking out some of them. Pay sites are clearly indicated, which makes it easy to avoid them if you want.
The ranking was compiled by Kory Meyerink of ProGenealogists. (Kory used to do a podcast that really enjoyed.) I have to wonder how some sites that provide very little data or just one kind of data (e.g. http://www.findagrave.com/ ) rate so highly, while others such as http://http//www.freebmd.org.uk/ didn't make the list.

Check the list yourself at:
