Each year, we bring you a list of the 101 best genealogy websites. This year, we’re showcasing what’s new: Many of our favorite sites boast shiny new records databases, new techniques for accessing data and new ways to share your family tree finds and benefit from others’ research. A few recently launched sites have rocketed their way onto our list, too.
