"HOW TO" Sites & Portal Sites

I am troubled by the many "How to" sites for genealogy. Any single one might hold the key to your particular problem, but how to read them all? It's better, I think, to find a singe reputable source and stick with it. For me, that source is www.FamilySearch.org. They offer many tips for beginners, but you can also get your questions answered there. besides, they have heaps of published guides and research aids.

For that matter, there are too many genealogy portal sites, pretending to lead you to all sources of information. www.Cyndislist.com is still the greatest. Cyndi started as a part-timer when the Internet was young and has become the provide of the most comprehensive go-to site for family history researchers.
