Linkpendium

Another large online research source to check is Lindpendium, which allows searches by surnames and localities. Over 2.8 million links are connected, amny of them from other sites that you may have already checked but given the small degree of penetration by search engines, it makes sense to continue cheking other links and possibilities. I found some broken links as I moved through the Jefferson County, Wisconsin site on the side of their server, not that of Linkpendium. Updates are several times a week and its size is a great asset.

Another advantage to using Linkpendium is that it is a genealogy only site. You may choose to submit your site to them using the "submit a link" button. The creators hope to move to open source text searches next, which will be the next wave of concentrated energy by many sites to make their information more searchable and more useful to all researchers looking for specific individuals.

Success in the search!!!
