Cyndi's List: A Comprehensive List of 40,000 Genealogy Sites on the Internet

For a weighter, wider-ranging and more comprehensive reference, the standard two-volume Cyndi's List by Cyndi Howells is unparalleled and widely acknowledged as an industry 'standard'. Cyndi's List provides a print gateway to the virtual world of Internet genealogy, providing over 70,000 links listed on over 430 individual web sites. Why have a print version when the search is to be conducted online? Because it saves the researcher many hours, helping to prepare in advance for a fruitful online session.

I am searching for my relatives, and found this book a tremendous help,to search the internet. The listings are by not only states, but by titles such as Biographies,Adoption, Calendars and dates, Cemeteries, Census, Countries, and many more. I recommend it highly for all genealogy searching!

If I could, I would see that Cyndi received royalties in the amount of triple the cost of each book that is sold. Her website is awesome. And since Cyndi's List is the hardcopy of her website, it too is awesome. I have been using her website for a couple of years and have found that she has indeed exhaustively investigated, evaluated, and indexed thousands of genealogical websites. Because the organization of all those websites is so clear, you can find with ease, most any topic in genealogy. If you are doing genealogical research and have limited access to the Internet then I strongly, STRONGLY recommend the purchase of Cyndi's List. The information in her book is worth its weight in gold.

I am new to genealogy and have found Cyndi's List to be very helpful. It is a great starting point for the beginning genalogist.

This book seem to have every detail covered. It is very interesting but as most of us know as soon as a list is created it has changes to no fault of the publisher. There are enough great sites to please anyone, just expect to find those sites which are not current. I like the book and think something this extensive is well worth the price.
