Genuki is a free UK and Ireland based
resource site, listing a number of useful genealogical
resources. Aside from just the genealogical resources
that are standard on a number of free sites, which aim to
list links to numerous searchable databases, Genuki also
provides a great volume of information relating to the
historical development of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Even though we were amazed as to the wealth of
information available on the site, we aren't sure as to
the utility of this information to someone wishing to
research their family history and assemble their family
tree.
As much as we think this site does have something to
offer to a certain market, it's appearance is a little
off-putting. With a mass of links and menu options
littered around the home page, it can get pretty
difficult to navigate the site, especially if you're new
to online genealogy. That said, this is a free site that
shouldn't be judged against the standards of one of the
sites in our top 10, which are almost all subscription
sites. As well as a traditional set of records, such as
birth, marriage and death records, census materials and
the electoral roll, Genuki also provides an amazing array
of more unusual resources which are perfect for the
genealogist looking for information that is a little more
specialist. Genuki features court records, information
regarding family heraldry and coats of arms, handwriting
analysis, language research, land and property listings
and much more. Whilst all of this may seem a little
academic, we're sure that many people out there will find
these resources interesting additions to their regular
genealogical research.
While there is a list of useful resources, it is nowhere
near as extensive as that featured on other free sites,
especially in terms of those resources that are useful to
the average genealogy enthusiast. While the site does
suggest that improvements are happening constantly, we
have a feeling that they might take a while to really get
going and users would benefit from checking out other
sites that may prove more useful in the meantime. By all
means check out this site to see if it has anything to
offer your research, and if it doesn't throw up any
useful information, why not try our highest rated site in
this category, Ancestry.com that will definitely improve
your research.
