Florida
Gen Web Project - In March and April, 1996, a
group of genealogists organized the Florida Comprehensive
Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single
entry point for all counties in Florida, where collected
databases would be stored. In addition, the databases
would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if
an individual were found in more than one county,
they could be located in the index. The USGenWeb Project
and FLGenWeb Project are a non-commercial, all-volunteer
organization.

Making
of America - Cornell University has scanned the
massive War of the Rebellion volumes. There is an
index scanned in as well. In the Index, the Roman
number corresponds to the Series number and the Arabic
number corresponds to the volume. When looking for
pages, the number you type in is the image number,
which won't be the actual page number. Once you find
the Series and Volume numbers, don't be surprised
to find a volume has several books. Each of those
has an individual index as well, which leads to the
exact page number.
