Carolyar.com – Research Genealogy

Carolyar.comOnline since 1997, this site is a really impressive database of genealogy and ancestry data, resources, documents and other materials of interest in text format (as transcripts and not images). It deals with variations of the surname Standerfer and keeps track of records from around the country, some compiled by the site owner, some contributed by users, and in all cases there’s a brief biography of each family member, and their slaves too, so the site can also be of help for African-Americans researching their lineage.

Not only are all these valuable resources free to use in your research, but you can also use the ‘Queries’ area to post a question or ask for the help of other site users in order to locate a specific ancestor, document or piece of information you might be missing, and also to get in touch with other researchers working with the Standerfer family, or with genealogy in a state your might be interested in. It could be a really interesting idea to upgrade the site’s design to a more web 2.0-looking and working platform, as this would allow users to bookmark favorite pages, send them to other people, make comment or upload media. I wonder if they can consider it… Carolyar.com
