This is a place for me to keep a listing of resources that have not only been helpful to me in my genealogy work, but may help you as well.
Digital Books
Google Books - excellent resource for things such as county and town histories.
Hathi Trust - from their website: "The HathiTrust Digital Library brings together the immense collections of partner institutions in digital form, preserving them securely to be accessed and used today, and in future generations."

General Genealogy
Ancestry.com - paid site, although you can create a tree, and see some items for free. I highly recommend their "learn" section, especially their webinars that they offer for free.
Family Search - free site, lots of great resources. Can search for free. Make sure you check out the "Learn" section of their site for fabulous resources.
