Web Search

This is an experimental Web search engine for genealogy. It currently contains over 5,000,000 pages that were crawled in 2006. Our goal is to extend it significantly in the future as time and resources allow.

Unlike a general-purpose search engine, we target only content that is relevant to genealogy.

Search over 5,000,000 genealogy Web pages

Instructions

  • Enter the terms you are looking for in the "Keywords" field.
  • You can limit your search to a particular website by entering site: followed by the name of the website.

For example, site:familysearch.org searches just the items in the family history library catalog.

Beta Alerts

Due to a bug in our Web crawl, approximately 25% of the pages you'll get back are not genealogical. We'll never achieve 100% accuracy, but we hope to decrease the number of non-relevant pages significantly over the coming months.

Currently we do not distinguish between words used as names, places, or dictionary terms. So if you search for the surname Brown you'll also get back pages for Brown County or even the color brown. We plan to fix this in the coming months.

We expect to increase the number of web pages we search significantly over the next year.
