Here's a few of my favorite sites on the World Wide Web. 


  • www.bluemountain.com  ... This is a great site for sending a card for any occasion to people of any kind! 

  • www.icq.com  ... Probably the best download in the world, though rather big at almost 6mb.  It's a great personal contact list that sits in your taskbar, and pops up as you need it.  Latest things it does are free SMS worldwide, and lots of other things I can't get my non-techy brain round!

  • www.ferretsoft.com  ... Another brilliant free download for searching the net,  go to the site and find the latest "WebFerret" download.  It provides a platform for searching all of the major search-engines on the net.

  • www.rootsweb.com ... The Oldest & Largest FREE Genealogy Site, a great place to kick-off your genealogy research, and it's global.

  • www.cwgc.org ... The Commonwealth War Graves Commission provides a searchable 'Debt of honour war register' with details of many commonwealth service-folk who served and died in WW1 & WW2.  They also maintain war graves and memorials at approx. 23,000 locations in 150 countries.

  • http://members1.clubphoto.com/steve37594/ ... For photographs of Newcastle Upon Tyne and surrounding places of interest provided by me gud marra Steve Ellwood, who never puts the camera doon!

  • http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ ... FreeBMD stands for Free Births, Marriages, and Deaths and the project aims  to provide free Internet access to the Civil Registration index information for England and Wales.

  • http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ ... provides free access to first edition historical maps of Great Britain dated between 1846 and 1899. This site allows you to view historical maps simply by entering a place name, an address or a grid reference.

  • http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pobjoyoneill/index.htm ... Sue O'Neill has done brilliantly to produce a free searchable database of the major Trade Directories of the C19.  Various Counties of England are covered, including Durham & Northumberland,
