Have you checked out some of the links in the Wiki (Reference Library) section of Family Tree Forum
www.familytreeforum.com

If you go to the Wiki section and click on, for example, the icon for The British Isles, you will find each county has its own page, with links listed relevant to that particular county. Quite a few of these links take you to free databases which might help your research.

You don't need to register to look at the Wiki, but registration is free and will give you full access to the whole site. Just click on the word REGISTER in the navigation bar and complete the details - you wont be disappointed!
