Every website requires some searching; it’s hard to feature everything on the home page. We hope this regular column will help by introducing you to things you may not have noticed on the website. |

Links to Online Resources
Are you ready to get back to researching? Have you discovered the useful Links to Online Resources on the website? It includes well over 150 links to resources—from general genealogy sites to very specialized sites. For example, do you know the current value of the £500 your 5x great-grandfather might have left in his will in 1820? The answer is below… it comes from the website “Purchasing Power of British Pounds from 1270 to Present” and the link is in the Toolbox resources. There is so much more—websites hosted by BIFHSGO members and useful blogs (also a number hosted by BIFHSGO members), links to general and specialized databases, links for specific research areas (military records, maps, immigration, newspapers and periodicals) and resources specific to Ottawa and Toronto. |
