Ancestry
Ancestry remains the premier genealogy program online. With over 2 BILLION records, no other online website has near the amount of data...
FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations, city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.

While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
