The Internet can be overwhelming, so you need a starting point for your research. This second installment of the series on Internet research covers some additional subjects, and the best starting points for researching them. Here’s how to find:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    A person. If you’re looking for information about a person, just go to Pipl (http://pipl.com/) and type in the person’s name, mailing address, email address, and any other contact information you have (the more the better). In an instant you’ll see links to information about that person from all over the Internet, including any Web sites, blogs, MySpace or Facebook pages the person has.

  2. Step 2

    Your family history. The Internet is a treasure trove of information for genealogists. The best place to start researching your family history is Cyndi’s List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet (http://www.cyndislist.com/). This site has more than half a million links to family history information.

  3. Step 3

    A picture. Want to find a picture really fast? Go to imagery (http://elzr.com/imagery/) where you just type in a keyword and this blazing fast search engine will flood you with images. You can click on the thumbnails to open the images in a new window.

  4. Step 4

    A video. There are hundreds of sites where you can watch or download videos on the Web, and populaire.eu (http://www.populair.eu/video/) is a site where you can search for them. Actually, this isn’t a search engine, more like a page with links to various video sites. You click on a site, and you can go directly there and search for the video you want to see.

Tips & Warnings
  • To avoid wasting time when you search, bookmark portals, or "supersites" like the ones profiled above. These sites will direct you to the best resources on the Internet for finding the information you're looking for.

on 10/15/2009 I loved Part 1 and glad that you added part 2. I do a lot of research and hadn't heard of Pipl and will check it out. As usual your articles are great and in-depth. I gave this a 5.
