Thousands of genealogy-related databases are available on the Web, with more being added every week. Some are very comprehensive, such as the Social Security Death Index. Others cover very specialized areas. A growing number of Web sites offer digital images of records rather than transcribed versions. Census records gradually are being made available, and individual Web sites frequently contain family photos, birth, death and marriage certificates, wills and deeds.
Some genealogy software includes tools for Web site creation.
