New Providence, New Jersey - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 23, 2008 - A meta search website, has been unveiled at Genealogy Today, designed to help researchers locate genealogical data either for both online and offline venues, either in print of digitized.
Illya D'Addezio, owner of Genealogy Today remarked, ''I've always tried to stay informed about new resources; but with so many outlets, there hasn't been a single place to search across different catalogs. Through Live Roots I'm partnering with major genealogy companies and many medium and smaller publishers to combine their respective catalogs into one repository.''
Live Roots was developed to bridge the gaps between independent websites, large commercial repositories and printed materials yet to be digitized and published on the World Wide Web.
Live Roots extends beyond the typical bounds of a traditional search engine or link directory by facilitating access to offline records and publications through partnerships with amateur and professional researchers who either own copies or are geographically close to the libraries and archives that do. In a few quick steps, visitors will be able to hire a researcher to obtain digital copies (scanned or hi-res photo) of pages referencing a specific name (or surname).
Genealogy Today has been publishing unique information and offering innovative services since 1999. This site offers a selection of both free and fee-based databases (clearly marked with a dollar sign). The name indexes of all fee-based databases can be searched without a subscription.
