Many genealogists worldwide made use of The Genealogist's Internet by Peter Christian. This wonderful book was last published in June 2012 (the fifth edition) and provided a wealth of over 1600 links plus descriptions and commentary.
As time has passed much of the book has become out of date. Links have changed, moved, updated or disappeared. New data has come online, better search facilities created, and new websites have made recommendations inaccurate or redundant. Still, much of the book's content remains relevant and useful to genealogists.
The good news is that Peter Christian has made his book available free via the Internet Archive. While he cautions readers that this is not a new edition of the books, Peter has still checked and updated many of the old links. Any links that Peter checked, found to be outdated and was unable to locate a current link have been greyed out in the text. Current links - to the best of Peter's knowledge links which are accurate today but may not remain so in the future - are highlighted in blue.
The creative commons licence under which the book is currently available is Attribution ShareAlike, which means you may freely download and reuse this electronic version, and distribute it to others.
So take a look at The Genealogist's Internet and see what it has to offer. A huge thank you to Peter for his work and his generosity in making his book available free online.
