Rev. Albert Collver Uses Google Books for Genealogy. (Free Internet Services that Really Work)
Rev. Albert Collver – Assistant to the LCMS President has a nice post that fits with my theme “Free Internet Tools That Really Work.” What I like about the post is how it blends the old with the new. Also nicely featured is a surprise. Rev. Collver writes:
While I have used Google Books for scholarly papers, I never really considered using it for genealogy. Google scanned in all sorts of public documents, including wills, court records, local histories, et al. It is amazing what can be found online. Just a few years ago, quite a lot of research and hunting in indexes would need to be done just to find a book.

There are lots of free and very useful tools on the web. Go out and find them use them and let me know what you find.
