Free Genealogy Search - I Dream of Genealogy

GENEALOGY***GENEALOGY***GENEALOGY

I Dream of Genealogy is a website that has unique free searches available. There are the 1870 & 1871 birth notices from Nevada. There is a tribute of sorts to the Xenia, Ohio tornado victims of 1974. Thirty-four people lost their lives either in the tornado or from injuries sustained from the tornado. Each victim is listed along with some family and burial info.

Search the obits from Kittitas County, Washington or check out the old graves and cemeteries from Long Island, NY.

There is a really neat section of lost and found. I buy a lot of items at auctions and many times will get home and find old family photos or death notices. These are the types of things you will find on this sight.

This website doesn't seem to have a lot of research variety available but what is offered is very interesting and unique. Check it out at http://www.idreamof.com/

Free Genealogy Search - Born in Slavery

Records of Black Americans are generally hard to research because the records for slaves are pretty much non-existent. There are 17 states that do have narratives by actual slaves from years ago. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

These biography's contain so much history that they should be read by every American. This free website is both interesting and informational.

Check out the Library of Congress Born in Slavery Website. These slave narratives were part of the Federal Writers Project from 1936-1939. You can browse by state or narrator, there are also photos by subject.
