New Horizons Genealogy is one of the Internet’s long-standing, under-the-radar genealogy websites. It doesn’t look modern, and the navigation feels retro, but behind the simple interface is a large and useful collection of transcribed historical material. Unlike record sites that rely on indexing and search bars, New Horizons organizes thousands of transcription projects by county and by record type. This site excels at uncovering local, off-the-grid records that don’t exist in big databases.
