A reminder that we're all distant cousins, this free genealogy site offers numerous searchable databases including ship passenger lists, city directories, alumni lists, cemeteries, birth, death, and marriage records. Simple navigation and whole site surname search make it easy to find what you need quickly.

52. Danish Emigration Archives
Compiled by the Danish Emigration Archives and The City Archives of Aalborg, this free genealogy database contains emigration lists compiled by the Copenhagen Police from 1869 to 1940. These lists give the name, last residence, age, year of emigration and first destination of the emigrant from Denmark. Currently, records are available for the years 1869 to 1908, covering 394,000 emigrants.

53. Cyndi's List
Most of you have probably used this amazing free genealogy directory at least once, but I bet there is more left to explore. Cyndi and her team have categorized over 250,000 genealogy links into over 180 categories, with a majority of them pointing to free genealogy sites. Of special note are the sections on Surnames & Family Associations and Personal Genealogy Home Pages.

A wealth of free genealogy resources for people with Netherland ancestors, this free genealogy database contains searchable indexes to Holland genealogy records, including: Women's last names in the Families of South Holland (1695-1812), Index to Court records in South Holland (1600's-1800's), and Dutch City Maps (1800's). These free resources are only indexes to the data - the actual records themselves are available for purchase on CD.
