Many of the projects have networks of volunteers who maintain statewide pages, county specific pages, records specific projects, surnames and others. Genealogy Leaves has tried to centralize and describe the various projects and what they have to offer. The common denominator among these projects are that they offer genealogical resources for free to the web researcher. Using the above links will allow you to explore the various projects while maintaining your connection to Genealogy Leaves .
Some projects are totally void of any commercial banners, etc.
Some projects allow them. I have included both types here simply because the display of banners and advertising do not cost the researcher anything, which, in the opinion of Genealogy Leaves makes them free sites. All sites under this heading ultimately charge a fee. Some researchers choose to avoid these sites, so they are kept separately here. Some researchers find that the fees that these sites charge are worth the material they find there.
