Many years ago, I had a bajillion bookmarks saved in my browser. I got a new computer and lost all my bookmarks. I started over, but was smart and saved them in an online bookmark tool. That tool changed to a paid model that was also spam and changed all my bookmarks to point to paid sites where they would get a cut. I started over, but this time kept them in a Word doc of my own saved on my computer and accessible via DropBox.
It still lives there, but before joining this CGS blog, I wasn’t doing much genealogy searching and so it was dusty and with broken threads all over it. I used Claude (AI) to shore it up and remove the dust and fix the broken threads.
It’s not a pretty document, but it’s my personal genealogy toolbox. I’m happy to share my toolbox, but I do encourage you to make your own of your favorites that you need to go back to.
