The GG Archives In The News
We have successfully tackled the challenge of building a genealogy website that caters to a broad audience with limited resources. Our main goal is to offer our visitors free historical materials and ephemera, and we have made significant progress towards that end. Although we may not be as comprehensive as more prominent players like Ancestry.com, our site's rich collection of ephemeral materials has gained considerable recognition and success.
We have compiled a list of articles written by individuals who have discovered the vast amount of information at the GG Archives that could be incorporated into family histories. These articles cover topics such as the Great Depression, Gems of the GG Archives, Transatlantic Travel by College Students during the 1920s, Maritime Travels of Immigrant Ancestors, Gjenvick-Gjønvik Archives' Page on Wikipedia, and other references on the web.
