NEW GENEALOGY WEBSITE

A new website enables genealogists for the first time to have free, easy, and precise searching of family history books.
 More Than 40,000 Digital Genealogy Books Now Fully Searchable and Downloadable for Free at GenGophers.com.  More are planned to be added to the site.

GenGophers.com is the only website that – completely for free – returns genealogy book results only. Results include the publication name and a snippet from the page showing the highlighted search terms:
https://www.gengophers.com/#/

Above is a screen shot of some of my results from searching today.  Searching for Hugh Jones in Alabama, I found a family history book that gives a complete genealogy of my second great grandmother Gennetta Woolley.  This included detailed information about her family along with a history of the settlement of Bibb and Chilton counties of Alabama.  I can use this information to fine tune the date that Hugh's father moved from Georgia to Alabama.

Quite a find!!!!

Happy ancestor hunting.
