Recently we've noticed an increase of genealogy pages that simply contain links to commercial entities (a.k.a. affiliates). While many genealogy sites have some commercial links, these sites have nothing else to offer. We developed this list and the corresponding symbol to help researchers identify genealogy sites where the majority of their pages contain real content (e.g. transcribed cemeteries, census records, passenger lists, etc). When you see the "Real Genealogy - Not Just Links" symbol (pictured above) on a web page, you can be confident you've arrived on a quality site where serious research can be performed.
If you believe your site qualifies, follow these instructions Qualified Sites The following sites (in no particular order) have met the criteria of having real content on a majority of their pages.
