Sets my day up nicely, even though I'm on holidays from my day job :-). Great tips about the curated list.... I don't know why I haven't done that earlier... I just save into a folder which is messy. Even though many of the top 10 sites were culturally a bit obscure for me in Australia, I found them really helpful as genealogy is a global interest. Also, I can look for parallel sites here.\n\nIt was wonderful.
