This Tool Makes it Easier Than Ever to Find Free Genealogy Research Sites

This post is outdated, doGenealogy has been discontinued. Please see our free genealogy section for help with resources.


Over the last couple of years, Family History Daily has published numerous articles about where and how to locate free genealogy resources. And now, we’ve created a tool that makes finding these free family history research sites easier than ever.

We know that, while many of you use and appreciate paid sites, you also want to have easy access to no-cost alternatives. Additionally, many of the best records and resources on the web simply cannot be found on large paid sites. Volunteer or government-run, big or small, free genealogy sites offer a wealth of information found nowhere else. Our database now includes more than 115 of these no-cost research sites. and we are adding new resources all the time. 

Because we wanted to make it as simple as possible for you to find these free sites we designed doGenealogy to be an absolutely straightforward tool for that purpose only. doGenealogy offers a hand selected database of only high quality, completely free genealogy sites that will help you expand your research.
