My very favorite websites list here is my list of the some of the more obscure or useful sites that I have in my bookmark file. Some have already been mentioned in the previous pages and here are the rest.
Soundex machine Here you can type in the surname and it will give you the Soundex code
New York State Library, including the newspaper project where you can see what old newspapers survive and where they are located. You may borrow any that the NYS Library owns through your local library
OCPL Onondaga County Public Library web catalog. This library has one of the best genealogy collections in the area, check here to see if they have a book you are interested in. I dont believe they will loan them out, you have to go there to use them.
http://www.kinshipny.com To see what old church records have been transcribed in the Hudson & Mohawk valleys check this site. He also has other New York State books.
