91. Manitoba Vital Statistics
Searchable by last name, first name, city, or date, this free genealogy database allows you to search for information on births (more than 100 years ago), marriages (more than 80 years ago), and deaths (more than 70 years ago) which took place and were registered in the province of Manitoba, Canada. Copies of the original certificates can be ordered from Vital Statistics for a fee.

92. Dear Myrtle's Family History Hour
You've used the Internet to search for surnames, make cousin connections, and maybe even take a genealogy class or two... But have you ever listened to an Internet Genealogy Radio Show? Hosted by Pat Richley, affectionately known as Myrt to her readers and listeners, DearMYRTLE's Family History Hour offers a free hour of genealogy tips, special guests, and even door prizes each Tuesday evening.

93. GenForum
Notable for its active message boards, GenForum, operated by MyFamily.com, allows you to post, browse, search, and read queries on message boards covering thousands of different topics - including geographic locations and individual surnames. Membership isn't necessary to read messages, but to post queries or receive email notification when someone replies to you, you'll need to complete a free registration form.

94. DAR Patriot Index Volunteer Lookup Service
If you're interested in learning if your ancestor is recognized by the DAR as a Revolutionary War Patriot, complete this free request form and the DAR volunteers will be happy to check for you at no charge. Containing the names of Revolutionary patriots, both men and women, whose service (between 1775 and 1783) has been established by the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, the DAR Patriot Index may provide such useful information as dates and places of birth and death, name(s) of wife (wives) or husband(s), rank, type of service, and the State where the patriot lived or served. If pension papers are known to exist, that fact will also be included.

95. WWI U.S. Draft Registrations
On three designated registration days in 1917 and 1918, approximately 24-million U.S. civilian men born between 1872 and 1900 provided information for draft registration cards. More than 80% of these civilians received exemptions or deferrals, and so NEVER went into the military and will NOT have military records! Over 1 million of these WWI Draft Registration records have been included in this free genealogy database, covering all registrants born 1872-1900 from about 15% of U.S. counties.
