AccessGenealogy.com contains one of the largest collections of free genealogy for your United States research. Find hundreds of thousands of free websites with billions of names you can use to further your family genealogy! Specifically, we provide sources for birth records, death records, marriage records, census records, tax records, church records, court records, military records, historical newspapers, cemeteries, and ethnic records. We also provide some historical details about different times and people in America’s history. Our specialty, however, is Native American genealogy and research. You can always access our Native American collection of material, by using the navigational link at the top of every page.

Our search is found on the right side of the header at the top of every page; but remember it only searches our website, and not the hundreds of thousands we link to. It also doesn’t search our databases. You will need to search those one-by-one. Try searching for a surname, a location, or a genealogy book by name.

AccessGenealogy features over 258,000 unique URLs within more than 355,000 free genealogy links categorized across 43,500 pages. Each website was carefully curated by genealogists, not only to support your research but also to enhance their own. This dedication makes AccessGenealogy the largest hand-curated directory of genealogy websites available online!

Access Genealogy by State

The primary method of browsing genealogy on Access Genealogy is through the state listing. You can then further your search by looking under the topic. As you browse our website you can always access the state links on the right side of any page.

Access Genealogy by Topic

We also provide you with the ability to search by topic first. This is most useful way to search for Native American genealogy, but can also be useful when searching for cemeteries, census records, vital records, or any other type of specific genealogy record.
