Perhaps the best-known genealogy site is Cyndi's List, run by Cyndi Howells. I caught up with Cyndi on the 4th annual Wholly Genes cruise and had a chance to talk with her about the categorized, cross-referenced list of more than 265,000 genealogy sites on the Internet. Cyndi offered her insights into genealogy and into the operation of her popular web site.
Roots Television videotaped our conversation and has now placed it online. You can watch the interview with Cyndi at http://www.rootstelevision.com/players/player_conferences.php?bctid=2474692001.
Cindy is a champ! She's always so personable and cheerful. It was a shame about the projector nonsense she endured in the Princess Theatre. The information was valuable, even so.
Happy Dae.
