Genealogy Tips & Tools

Places to Look on the Internet for Help

Some of these charge a fee for their services, and I can not personally vouch for the credibility of any of them. They are just interesting sites that I've found while perusing the Internet in search of genealogy stuff!


• Enemy Alien Registration Affidavits - Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies has uploaded a county by county index to the "Enemy Alien Registration Affidavits, 1917-1921". NARA has placed 5,928 affidavits on their site of which 116 were selected to have digitized copies attached to them. These can be searched for by using NAIL Standard Search, keywords "Enemy Alien" and select The Central Plains Region as the NARA UNIT. (WARNING - There are a number of towns listed in the wrong counties so try using surname search first).
