Update: Encyclopedia of Genealogy

I recently created a new, free online service for genealogists, called the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. While I'm the person who created the "shell" of this new service, much of the information within it is written by newsletter readers like you. If you missed the announcement, you can read it here.

I must admit that I am quite pleased with the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. Many newsletter readers have offered new content or have corrected existing information within the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. Here is a partial list of some of the articles added or updated by newsletter readers and myself in the past few weeks:

Alsace Lorraine Genealogy
Association Of Professional Genealogists
France, Departmental Archives
France, Genealogical Conferences
France, National Archives System
Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs)
German Genealogy Reference Books
HGSNY
Hispanic Genealogical Society of New York
Toponymic
United States Colored Troops

The above is a partial list of the items added in the past few weeks and should give you an idea of what the Encyclopedia of Genealogy is all about. Of course, there is plenty of room for more information, so feel free to add more! If the Encyclopedia of Genealogy does not yet contain information about your local genealogy society or library, you can add that information now. It is easy to do so.

The Encyclopedia of Genealogy is available to everyone, free of charge. You can access it at http://www.eogen.com.

If you would like to check "what's new" on the Encyclopedia for yourself, go to http://www.eogen.com and click on CHANGES in the upper-right corner. This will show all recent changes.

just saw your online page and the Genealogy Encyclopedia, and they are great. Recently I did a program on a new way to do genealogy (online) for a DAR program. As registrar I found a lot of people who had an Aunt that was in DAR but she was no longer living and they did not know where her children (their cousins) lived to ask them for info. Also I was trying to track down friends that I had not had contact with for at least 40 years. So far I found info on 14, two women who were in my wedding 51 years ago and both were twice divorced. If you think it would help others I can provide info on what I did

I'm trying to trace my family history. My grandfather was Charles Conrad from Alsace Lorraine/Luxembourg region. He came to Scotland between 1900 and 1910 and worked as a chef in the North British Hotel in Edinburgh. He died around 1922.
He had 2 friends working with him who were from the same region - Hangartner and D'Braque/Debrack?
