Online sites and servers come and go frequently. These links were accurate as of 22 May 2005. These Web sites listed include government, private, and commercial sites. The Silicon Valley Computer Genealogy Group does not endorse any commercial sites or advertisements. Users should exercise caution in responding to such page elements as banner ads indicating, for example, that computer or access speed needs upgrading or that messages await you. And do not be sidetracked by popup and popunder ads. (In fact, we recommend installing popup blockers; Google's toolbar has a popup blocker.)
