Few posts back I spotlighted Roxanne Low and her list of “Free Genealogy-Related Internet Sites.” Remember? Did you take time to looksee any of them?? Today I highlight some of those opportunities!

* www.abmc.gov  —  The American Battle Monuments Commission website features a database of nearly 218,000 American war dead from WWI and WWII who were buried in overseas cemeteries. The site also includes 94,000 more names commemorated on Tablets of the Missing.

* www.easycalculation.com  —  calculate how many years, months and days have elapsed between two dates. 

* www.deathindexes.com  —  A directory of links to websites with online death indexes, listed by state and county. (Get it? A listing of links to online death indexes!!!)

* www.genealogylinks.net  —  Over 50,000 links to resources in the US, the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. (If you’ve stuck with the “tried and true” websites, why? Why not try this?)

* https://gravelocator.com/va/gov  —  A VA site, updated daily, offers searches of veterans and their family members buried in most any military cemetery.

* https://glorecords.blm.gov  —  Use this site to search through more than 5,000,000 federal land title records (1788 to present). (Did your ancestor homestead or buy land from the federal government?)

* https://digital.newberry.org/ahcb  — The Newberry Library in Chicago website is one of the best places to trace shifting county lines and the records that went with them.

* www.usgs.gov/programs/national-geospatial-program/national-map  —  Looking for an obscure ancestral locale? This website offers help to finding that “old” place with the “new” name.
