  29. Family Tree Maker index which has a search facility that may give you some really useful leads.

  30. Obituary Daily Times has loads of Obituaries from around the world, and has a search facility. When using the search wait for completion - the title loads first then the data takes some time.

  31. Kindred Konnections - 12 million name index search and SSDI. Name search must have surname and given name; loads of cookies.

  32. GENDEX This server indexes hundreds of World Wide Web databases containing genealogical data for over two million individuals, and gives you the ability to locate and view data of interest to you on any of these databases, without having to go and visit each of the databases separately.

  34. Unwanted Certificates - check to see whether someone has a Birth, Marriage or Death certificate that might interest you (UK only).

  35. UK Look-Up Scheme - not online records, but folk who are willing to check out references listed on these pages. Embryonic but looks like it will become a very good secondary resource.
