71. Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
Over 4,000 generous individuals from around the world have volunteered to perform free genealogical tasks to help other genealogists, such as videotaping cemeteries, or visiting county courthouses or archives in their specified area. You WILL be expected to reimburse expenses incurred by the volunteers, such as copying fees and mailing expenses.

72. Australia - WWII Nominal Roll
Search by name, service number, honors, or location in this free genealogy database of service records from approximately one million individuals who served in Australia's defense forces and Merchant Navy during World War Two (1939-1945). Once you find an individual service record you can create and print an unofficial certificate of service. You can also purchase a photocopy of the original World War II service record from the National Archives for a small fee.

73. Our Timelines - Timeline Creator
Enter an ancestor's name and dates of birth and death to generate a free, personalized historical timeline of historical events, epidemics, etc. This site will generate a timeline for any date from 1000 AD to the current year, and the output can be included on your personal genealogy pages for free.

74. Free Genealogy Translations
Find volunteers willing to help you with free translations of genealogical documents in 27 different languages. This service, hosted on the FranceGenWeb site, is presented in French, but is still easy to use for people who don't read French. Just select the language you need translation help with and click "Recherche" for a list of volunteers with contact information.

75. GenCircles - Global Tree
Founded by Cliff Shaw, GenCircles is a popular place for searching and submitting family trees. Over 32 million surnames can be searched for free and, if you've submitted your own GEDCOM file to GenCircles Global Tree, you can use "matching technology" to pair the people in your pedigree with those already on file.
