Love, love, love this site ..... have been using it for several years now. Also have been able to cross reference what I find on death certificates with burial information available for Catholic cemeteries in St. Louis. You're able to search the archdiocese's cemetery database by surname.

Hi Cricket,
I have made great use of that site. It is really good.
(I just joined a few days ago, and I am just getting acquainted here.)

The Illinois State Archives has some wonderful online databases including land sales, military, a marriage and a death index.

One of my favorite resources is Inter-Library Loan (ILL). When I can't find a genealogy book, magazine, or resource at my local library or online, many times I can order it through ILL. I usually can't bring it home when it arrives; must use it at my library branch, but I can make photocopies or take pix with my digital camera for future use.

One of my favorite sites is Archive.org (http://www.archive.org). Thousands of old scanned books there. Books at Google (http://books.google.com) is another great place to find old book.

Yeah... Google Books is really cool. I found a family history book that had been written by a 3rd cousin of my dad's mom about a year ago. It's out of print on amazon.com but google has the entire thing there in PDF format. :D

Archive.org is absolutely awesome. I found a complete set of parish index books for the whole of Scotland link below:

I also like Archive.org, but when I download a book in PDF it never finishes downloading. Gets right to the end and aborts. Anybody have ideas about what is happening? Thanks!

I haven't had that trouble, but I am wondering if you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat installed?
