About the Genealogy Toolbox
The Genealogy Toolbox is collection of tools to assist those interested in researching their genealogy or family history. The site began in 1994, when Matthew Helm first placed online his list of favorite genealogy links. Today the Genealogy Toolbox links to hundreds of thousands of Web sites with content relevant to family history resources, as well as linking to content gathered by our TreEZy search engine, and digitized images of original documents. The Genealogy Toolbox can be utilized in a couple of different ways. You can use our full-text search interface to find relevant sites, browse through our collection of catagorized searches, or select one of our specialized sites from the sections below.

Search for Genealogical and Local History Web Sites
You can use the following field to search for a particular surname, location, or topic using our TreEZy search engine. The search engine focuses on indexing Web sites that can assist genealogists and family historians. Keep in mind, that this is a full-text search engine, so you might get a variety of results if the surname you are looking for is also a common word.
- To search using TreEZy, just type in a few words such as a person's name, a place, or a topic.
- Results only include pages that contain all of the query words.
- Use quotes around words that must occur adjacently, as a phrase,
e.g., "United Kingdom".
- Punctuation between words also triggers phrase matching. So
searching for http://www.treezy.com/
is the same as searching for "http www
treezy com".
- Searches are not case-sensitive, so searching for TreEZy is the same as searching for tReEzY.
- You can prohibit a term from resulting pages by putting a minus
before it, e.g., searching for genealogy
-tutorial will find pages that discuss football, but don't use the
word "tutorial".
