Genealogy.com, the Family Tree Maker site Often offering free 14 day trials, the FTM site offers search options (you'll need a membership, free or paid for, to access the actual results almost all of the time) and claims "In just 3 easy steps we'll help you start your family tree, search for ancestors and share your discoveries with family and friends. So relax and let us help you get started on this rewarding journey." I've taken about a billion steps so far... I'm still on the road, but I DO like them.
Genealogy & Family History Databases and more! This is actually Ancestry, but they've pretty much bought up every decent genealogical domain name and changed the color scheme. Very annoying, for those of us who think we've found a new resource, but you can't stop 'em! Every now and then, Ancestry's original site gives me a bit of trouble, but the others, like this one, still work, so I keep both links.
NedGen Ask me what NedGen means. At first, I thought... how cute, some guy named Ned's page with a cutsie name. But I was wrong. Ned is for Nederlands, apparently. I'd normally stick this one in a more Nederland-y place, but close examination shows that it's got more generic genealogy stuff than Nederland-ish, so it goes here. Links to a variety of the basic genealogy sites, but the coolest thing it's got is the option to resize the font on the page!
Irish Origins Irish Origins offers access to the most authentic Irish genealogy collections online, including the definitive versions of Irish ancestor records and survey maps of Ireland associated with Griffith's Primary Valuation of Ireland, the most important Irish genealogy research source prior to the 20th century, as well as the the one-of-a-kind Irish Wills Index (1484-1858) and the 1851 Dublin City Census, accessible via a free Irish name search.
Family Search Page of LDS site A direct link to the search page. This is the only site I've ever encountered that specifies "deceased" ancestors. Not that that means anything, it's just a comment.
