http://gye.future.easyspace.com    

This site has loads of different links to most counties in England and most countries in the world. Its all to do with family research, once on the home page scroll down to get the links. Another one for research in Scotland is  

http:www.dundee-howff.info/index.htm   Link seems to be down 09/10/04
Comment by Moderator: Link working 10:31am BST 9/10/04

Again this site is good for research in and around Dundee.

 Smiley
I would like to add a couple of interesting sites:


http://150.101.237.154/1901/

this site has lots of tips for using the 1901 census and plenty of links. If you are having a bad genealogy day go to the last link at the very bottom of the page and click on "Not the 1901 census" it will give you a good laugh and revive your spirits!


http://www.davgw.net/connect/fhish.php  

is a good site for anyone with interests in St Helens.

http://www.eh.net/htmit/ppowerbp/  

have you ever wondered what your ancestors could buy for a Pound way back then -if so this is for you.

this site may help with reading old handwriting.

I found this Welsh site quite interesting

http://www.gtj.org.uk/

it is "A website for Welsh cultural history"

Another good one for Wales is
http://www.data-wales.co.uk/index.htm

A  website that may be useful for those with links in Wales is
http://home.clara.net/wfha/index.html as it has a section about Welsh gravestone inscriptions. Not to mention it is a really nice example of a personal website  Smiley 

Also no-one seems to have mentioned (on this thread at least)
http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/
 
A useful site for parish records in Monmouthshire is
http://uk.geocities.com/rowla_d/MikeJohnsBTTranscripts.html

A great site for people with connections to Merthyr Tydfil is
http://www.alangeorge.co.uk/index.htm

A similar site is
http://www.merthyrhistory.150m.com/scn1.htm

Lots of useful links and articles here, but of most interest might be Lost People in the 1881 census index list.  Go to http://www.family-tree.co.uk/ then to Resources.
