Allen County Library Genealogy Link

I was underwhelmed with the "Genealogy Link" from the Allen County Library (home of the Fort Wayne research facility). Located at www.acpl.lib.in.us, the link is very, very basic in its categories and shallow in its depth of links in the few categories. I would have anticipated a much more fully developed genelaogical focus, given its speciality in the region.

Some of your choices are: "Getting Started", "Special Programs", "Allen County, Indiana Links", "State Specific Resources", "International Resources" and "Research Topics". The state specific sites link you only to the state's genealogical society and the state's historical society. International resources only list two or three links for major countries supplying immigrants to the Midwest, such as Germany and Ireland. The topic list lacks depth as well and I would suggest that your time is better spent on "Cyndislist".
