A Decade of Cyndi's List

Monday March 6, 2006
It's hard to believe how fast time flies. Ten years ago Cyndi Howells posted a Web site with information intended to assist members of her local genealogical society. Part of her efforts included a page full of links to more than 1,000 genealogy sites which she hoped would also be helpful to other interested genealogists online. To this end, she proudly announced Cyndi's List on ROOTS-L - probably not realizing what she was putting into motion. As it celebrates its 10-year anniversary, Cyndi's List now has 251,235 total links and 242,672 categorized links contained on 684 pages. It also has an all-new layout and more streamlined navigation. If you haven't been there in a while, check it out! Cyndi is an absolutely wonderful person, and her work has played a very important part in the growth of Internet genealogy. Happy Anniversary!
