Google Books
Internet Archive
Ancestry ($)
Family History Archive (this site focuses specifically on genealogy and history books)
JSTOR (this subscription site searches, among other items, scholarly history journals)

Community Networking Sites

Message Boards and Lists. Genealogists share information and ask questions in online message boards and lists. Some popular United States examples are:

Genealogy.com
Message Boards at Ancestry
RootsWeb List Index. Find lists for your surname, ancestor's place of residence, ethnicity, etc.

You should also use message boards focused on specific surnames and localities (such as counties) to find your ancestors.

DNA. DNA studies are one of the most exciting new ways to learn about your roots. There are many DNA companies that can assist. Y-Chromosome tests are very helpful, because they can help many people who share surnames find out if they're related. Company websites inform you if someone is already studying your particular surname. A few that include surname projects are:
