Most everyone is familiar with the larger genealogy sites such as Ancestry and FamilySearch. This presentation will focus on sites that are not as well known.
New York post cards and digitized newspapers (free): http://fultonhistory.com
DAR Genealogical Research System http://www.dar.org/library/online_research.cfm You can search to find if any of your ancestors of the right era have been claimed by DAR members and therefore proved to have served in the Revolutionary War. You can also search for descendants to see if any of your ancestors appear as descendants of patriot ancestors. Records can be obtained from the DAR showing proofs.

Facebook is a web-based social networking service that allows us to interact with friends and families. It was launched in 2004 with one million users, and has grown to over 800 million.
The first step in participating in Facebook is to set up account at http://facebook.com
Once you fill out basic information (name, e-mail address, password and birthday), you will receive a confirmation e-mail from Facebook.

Each of us is familiar with the information available in printed form, and probably have book shelves groaning with their weight. In the past few years, there has been a trend toward similar information in a digital format. There are several reasons for this shift:
- Storage space. A typical book of about 300 pages is about an inch thick and weighs two or three pounds. Digitally, it consumes less than 20 megabytes of drive space and weighs nothing. To put this in perspective, a small flash drive (2 gb) could easily hold over 100 books of information. Or you could have a book shelf nine feet long, weighing over 200 pounds.
