Winner of numerous awards, the object of countless honors, and acclaimed by authorities throughout the world, Cyndi's List is the gateway to Internet genealogy, providing the researcher with more than 40,000 links to every conceivable genealogical resource on the Internet. An Aladdin's cave of genealogical riches--its bounty spread comprehensively across one hundred subject categories--Cyndi's List, like the fabled cave, offers unparalleled riches to those who would mine its storied contents.

For the genealogist, Cyndi's List is nothing short of a phenomenon. It originated just a few years ago with the modest aim of providing the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society with five or six pages of genealogy web site addresses. From there, Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet with 1,025 links listed on one page, grew to more than 40,000 categorized and cross-referenced links in more than 100 categories listed on more than 300 individual web pages. The site now has more than 64,000 visitors each day, with more than 7 million people having stepped through the front door of the site to date.
