Horus' main purpose in compiling this collection of genealogical links is to introduce academic historians and history students to the diverse resources for primary historical research developed for and by genealogists and available on the Web. Historia
ns do not routinely use sources dedicated to genealogy for disciplinary research. Horus believes, however, that genealogically organized data (if Horus may be permitted so to phrase it) has great potential value for disciplinary research in historic pre
servation, family history, and demographic history, among other special fields. Placing the history of homes in the context of genealogically defined family history, for instance, would permit historians to understand better ethnic and regional vernacula
r home culture. Similarly, placing the social history of medicine in the context of genealogically defined family history would let historians study folk medicine and alternative therapeutics.
Genealogists, including commercial genealogical companies, are industriously organizing their own resources on the Web. Horus has not tried to duplicate this effort - indeed, could not do so; there aren't enough hours in the day! The top one hundred or
so most important sites are, however, listed in this article. As an ongoing project, Horus intends to fold individually listed genealogical sites into directories, as the genealogists create them. Eventually, this compilation should provide reasonably co
mplete top-down hierarchical access to the world wide data.

Register surnames which you are researching. In the registry, your web page (if you have one) and your email address will be hyperlinked, enabling other persons interested in your surname research to contact you easily.
Complete a separate form for each surname, even if all your registrations have the same web URL.
Check out surname resources on the web by scrolling through the database.
Will you help Horus? Horus is not trying to duplicate the wonderful genealogical databases and list servers on the internet. Horus is experimenting with databases. He believes that genealogists will give this database a workout. Hopefully, this web sur
name register will provide a service and entertainment to genealogists, while Horus learns how to design http databases. Your use of the registry has already provided invaluable experience to Horus in designing a browser independent entry form and in des
igning split databases! Thanks!
When you scroll the registry, you'll notice that many of the entries list Horus as the provider of information. These entries are written this way because Horus entered them from individual html entries on the genealogical page (Horus knows - don't say
it), not because Horus is doing all those surname searches. Go to the surname resources to meet the actual providers. Thanks, genealogical community!
