Got ancestors?
Today’s FamilyFirst site is RootsWeb.com, the oldest and largest FREE genealogy site.
There are a lot of avid genealogists out there. This site is for YOU! You can upload your own hard-earned research (and benefit lots of other folks). You can communicate with fellow ancestry buffs via the mailing list and the message board. You can take advantage of the thousands of hours of research already contributed by performing searches. You can even put up your own genealogy website with free space!
You can trace your own family tree with these tremendous, well-organized, and easy-to-use resources. The spirit of cooperation and looking out for each other continues to exist on the internet!
Genealogy is one of the fastest-growing hobbies out there. We are all fascinated with where we came from, who our ancestors were, when they emigrated, and any other little details that we can dig up. RootsWeb makes it easy to do so. It's a great example of the whole open-source movement that is revolutionizing the way we do business on the web.
Keep this one bookmarked, friends. You’ll find yourself using it (and maybe contributing) over and over.
