This is a review of a very useful new website, appearing in the (also
very useful) weekly Internet Scout Report:
ProGenealogists
http://progenealogists.com/genealogysleuthb.htm
An unparalleled resource in genealogical research, the Progenealogist
metasite is a clearinghouse for information of every variety imaginable.
Produced by the Family History Research Group, a private research group of
professional genealogists, the site is a fantastic starting point for anyone
interested in conducting genealogical research. From an organizational
standpoint alone, the site couldn't have been more masterfully rendered,
offering a wealth of practical resources, beginning with direct links to
genealogical records, censuses, and genealogical organizations in every
state and every country. Beyond that, however, the site also directly links
to sources for vital and military records, as well as obituary and
biographical services. The obvious aside, the site also features an
impressive array of tools and lexical links, including currency and date
converters and directories of every sort. While some of the services
featured on the site are run by for-profit organizations, they are in the
minority. Just the same, given all the site has to offer and the knowledge
that went into its construction, it is clear that the Progenealogist site
offers something for everyone -- and delivers.
