- FamilySearch - As more records are digitized and transcribed, this increasingly becomes a great resource for me. I'm not totally happy with the organization of results from a search, yet, but I've been able to find important information that I hadn't found in years of research, because I didn't know where to look.
- Utah Digital Newspapers - I LOVE newspapers! I have a Newspaper Archive subscription that I utilize regularly, but it's not comprehensive. Having a lot of ancestors that lived in Utah at some point, the Utah Digital Newspapers site has been a wonderful resource for me. I've found clues, obituaries, scalliwags, and funny stories that flesh out the bare facts and make my ancestors personal.
- Utah Death Certificate Index - Death records and more for the State of Utah for the years 1904 - 1958.
- Find A Grave - I think most of us has used this. Many thank you's to the amazing volunteers who make this site possible.
- Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - This is a free and great way to have someone in the area that you're researching (and can't get to immediately) do some legwork for you.
- West Virginia Vital Research Records - Birth, Marriage, and Death Records for West Virginia. I love when states put these resources online. HUGE help!
- USGenWeb - One of the original resources for online genealogy, volunteer-driven, this has been a great resource over the years. Some county pages are better than others, but it's been a helpful website for me.
- Ohio Online Death Certificate Index - 1913 - 1944.
- Google Books and Images - I always run these searches on someone I'm researching - I've found pictures, digitized county histories, business directories and almanacs, etc.
- Family Tree Magazine's 2010 Best State Websites for Genealogy - Self-explanatory, and very helpful. I just found this. :)
Please comment with other websites you've found to be helpful, I'll add them to the list!
