These are web sites that I've bookmarked for myself. I also put a comprehensive list of genealogy links on the Genealogy Reference page.

These web sites are unbelievable. They each contain dozens of well organized links to other sites.

Cyber Librarian. What a great place to start searching for people! Several search engines in one place.

DirectHit.com - Unlike most other search engine spiders, DirectHit scores a page based largely on how often visitors select a site, and how long they appear to stay on the site.
Dogpile This is another of those search engines that uses other search engines to find what you're looking for.
Google.com One of the newest and best search engines.
GoTo.Com Good search engine.
Go2Net|Metacrawler. This search engine searches other search engines for you. The site also has a page where you can see what other people are searching for while you're on line...click on 'MetaSpy' when you get there. There's a "filtered" section for general audiences, or you can choose the unfiltered section to see everything.
InfoSpace. This service is located in Redmond, Washington. It's easy to use and is packed with locating information derived from public sources and questionnaires.
Lycos and Hotbot. Two of my favorite search engines and fun sites in their own right.
NorthWest BuildNet. Another good search engine.

ZIP Code Look-up and Address Information You know the zip code, but...

AJR Newslink. Newspapers, newspapers, newspapers.
AltaVista Translations. This site helps you translate from your language to many others. The translations are not that good, but they're better than nothing!
The Drudge Report is a great source of news and commentary from some of the best pundits and editorialists in the country. Matt Drudge himself often publishes scoops and news items here that you can't find in any other newspaper.
Epicurious.com - Everyone in the world except me probably knew what a great site this is for recipes.
Excite.com lets you customize a start-up page to replace the one that appears from your Internet Service Provider. It's easy to do, and you'll wonder why you didn't do this a long time ago. Click on the 'My Channel' icon when you get there.

Amazon.com is "Earth's Largest Bookstore." I have used this service five or six times and am very impressed with their selection, the on-line information and reviews about the books, the discounted prices, and the incredibly responsive service.
Famous Smoke Shop, Inc. I have bought cigars from this service for years. Their prices are unbeatable, and now they have an outstanding web site.
| Sports |
| Stock Investing |
Clearstation is my new favorite...the services they provide for free are incredible. Build your portfolio, enter stock recommendations for others to see, take advantage of great charts, and do your analysis. Clearstation even notifies you via e-mail each day when end-of-day data on your portfolio is ready.
BigCharts is a free service that you normally would expect to pay a lot of money to get. I bet you bookmark this one!
Daily Stocks contains charts, insider trading statistics, company information, and links galore.

Great site for cheap airfares. I have used this site several times and have saved hundreds of $$ each time.
Internet Travel Network. This is absolutely the best place I've found to make airline reservations. You see the same information that travel agents do. You can even select your seats by viewing the same interactive seating diagram aboard the aircraft that travel agents see when they talk to you on the phone. Outstanding resource.
Mapquest. Here you can get step-by-step driving directions that will take you to a new address across town or across the country.
OnLine City Guide Planner. This is an outstanding resource to check out cities before you visit them, and to make reservations for planes, hotels, cars - I like it a lot.
Pop3Now provides free access to your home e-mail account from any computer. I include this link under the travel section because Pop3Now is the perfect way to check your e-mail when you travel outside the range of your Internet Service Provider. No registration necessary - just login.
Slanguage. This site is a lot of fun because it provides "translations" for regional speech patterns and words. Want to speak like a New Englandah? Go here.
