Genealogy discussion

i experimented last night with the book's suggestions for " ..." and AND, it really helps narrow down the search. i also tried the "power search" on the book's website - easy to use - you just type in your name & it searches for you, pretty cool.

People come a lot to various forums asking for "ubersearchengines" that will keep them from having to use Ancestry.com's dopey census engine and the similarly rather inflexible search engines on a number of other sites (Ellis Island, Castle Garden, etc). He has posted some great resources that will help anyone looking for Holocaust victim records in the US and Europe. This one really gets you where you want to go quickly: http://stevemorse.org/

Yes Didi Ancestry seems to have a voluminous amount of stuff, but not to what I really need. Here in Hawaii, when I type in a name they will give me England, Ireland what have you.
