Rhonda's Index Page For:
Hot Tips on Genealogical Research

         The sole purpose of this page is to encourage, assist, and bring together resource and archival data for those in the pursuit of genealogical research information.

         To that end we have collected and collated over 4000 specific links for data retrival and further genealogical research encompassing all continents of the globe. All of this work has come solely from one researcher - Rhonda Houston. As this website grows, contributions from a number of sharing researchers have begun to increase both in number and quality. We welcome and thank all who take the time to share.

         In order to maintain and add to these links it has become obvious that more time is needed. MacLinks asked Rhonda if she would post relevant material that will fill the void between downloading the new additions and deleting the out of date and or dead links.

         Rhonda has accepted the 'extra' workload by adding 'Genealogical Hot Tips page" to our MacLinks Web Site the. More genealogical research information will be added to this page as the data is gathered and cataloged.

          Each Hot Tips Article will have access to 6 of the following translator links for those who wish to translate into a different language. To use simply follow the instructions given by each/all links.

         We would like to thank Linda Wright and Tom and Sue McFarland for locating the following translator links for the reader's use.
