History of Genealogical Research
<p>Reminders on the renewal of various subscriptions to genealigical sites have prompted me to review just where I have got to and what I am getting some benefit from. <a href="https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/">GenesReunited</a> is a bit of a no brainer at just £9 a year to keep access to other peoples family trees and post my own data, but then <a href="https://www.wikitree.com">WikiTree</a> gives much the same for free! Both could do with an update as I have started filling in missing data taking advantage of a 6 month subscription to <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry</a> which I'd done nothing with for the first 5 months. I've got access to more than enough material to keep me busy for some time so I will not bother to renew it for another six months. Searches on GenesReunited are easier to manage with a pay per search credit. I also have an account on <a href="https://www.familysearch.org">FamilySearch</a> run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their original site was the main source of information when I first started 20+ years ago and while it now links to chargable third parties, it is still a good free source as well.</p>
<p>My real starting point for filling in gaps is the links on <a href="http://wiki/Isle_of_Man_Online_Genealogy_Records">FamilySearch for the Isle of Man</a>. There are a lot of ($) links quoted some of which I do have subscriptions to, but I need to update my own index of other free sources of material.</p>
