RootsWeb Meta Search



The RootsWeb Meta Search searches multiple databases and files in one search at Rootsweb.

Rootsweb is the largest and oldest free genealogy site on the web today with hundreds of millions global names online.





In addition to providing assistance and web space for genealogy societies, RootsWeb is also a supporter of the USGenWeb projects, and houses many GenWeb pages and data archives.

Rootsweb has hundreds of gigabytes (millions of pages) of free genealogy data, with more added every day. There are over 33 million individuals on file in World Connect Project where RootsWeb provides the resource that could eventually connect the family trees of everyone in the world.

The RootsWeb site states that performing a thorough search on RootsWeb can be challenging, but rewarding.

There are several reasons for this. First, RootsWeb is very, very large. There are literally more than one million Web pages of content and hundreds of millions of names on RootsWeb.

Second, RootsWeb actually consists of thousands of Web sites, databases and files that have accumulated in numerous different formats over more than 13 years and which continue to grow every day. Third, this accumulation was not planned. Hence, there is today no single place where you can search all of RootsWeb.

But now there is a meta search for Rootsweb that searches 23 of Rootsweb largest databases at once. These include:
  • Surname Helper
  • World Connect project
  • Obituary Daily Times
  • RootsWeb Surname List
  • US Social Security Death Index
  • Gen Connect
  • Many more databases
all hosted on RootsWeb. It's a great way to start a search of the vast accumulation of data available at RootsWeb. The RootsWeb meta search along with other global Rootsweb searches is available at RootsWeb Meta Search

The content of much of what is on the RootsWeb site has been placed there by other users, both as a means of finding fellow researchers with common interests and as a service to the genealogy community. You are encouraged to continue this work by contributing your own queries, comments and research results to Rootsweb
