Online genealogy database websites continue to debut over the internet. One of the latest we’ve found is Footnote.com, which boasts of having “millions of images of original source documents, many of which have never been available online before.”

Footnote also offers website visitors and subscribers the opportunity to “interact with and enhance” what they find on the site. There’s also an area called “Story Pages”, which offers the chance to “share your knowledge and research with others.”

There’s lots to see on this website, and one thing that makes it attractive to us is the low $9.99 monthly subscription option (or $99.99 annually). We feel the price makes it affordable for anyone who wants to gain unlimited access to see what this site really has to offer. The interface seems quite simple to use, and visitors can search for free before deciding if they want to pay for access to more.

We’re quite impressed that a big portion of the site’s content is made up of some fantastic historical data. Back in January, the website announced a major digitization project with the National Archives. The agreement allows Footnote to digitize selected records from the vast holdings of the National Archives, including: Papers of the Continental Congress (1774-89), Mathew B. Brady Collection of Civil War Photographs, Southern Claims Commission, Name Index to Civil War and Later Pension Files, and Investigative Case Files of the Bureau of Investigation (1908-22).

Footnote was founded in 1997 as iArchives, Inc.
