Cyndi's List is more or less the "Encyclopedia Britannica" of Genealogy links. They claim to have over 300,000 links divided into 221 categories. The site also has a search engine that seems to bring up a lot of ads you have to scroll through to get to the things you used it to see.
For an example, if I search for "Washington Marriages," their search brings up the results as shown below (after I scroll past the 4 ads)
If I then pick the category with the arrow, the category comes up, as below. This one tells you whether the site is a "pay" or a "free" site. Personally, I always try the free ones first. Even if I wind up going to a pay site, I'll know better how to judge whether it is worthwhile and many of those sites will have free info to entice you to send them money.
Anyway, Cyndi is worth a visit and you'll probably see interesting sites from there you might not think to look for. Just don't get lost while visiting Cyndi.
