Research Ideas and Tips

Genealogy Resources, by State - a U.S. government webpage with links to each State's significant record collections.  Not all of the record collections are online, of course, but at least you can find out what is available in each state for research, whether online or in person.
 
Research Tips on the Morgan-Knighton Kith 'n Kin blog - check back often because new tips are added quite frequently.
