Make a Donation

GenGuide is completely non-profit and I enjoy looking out for new resources and keeping the site up to date. I do this for nothing because family history research is all about helping each other. However the cost of maintaining GenGuide means I need your help as well, especially with the site hosting costs.

Obviously not everyone can or will donate but your donation will help keep GenGuide running for yourself and others.
