Genealogy Research

We have developed the following anonymous surveys in an ongoing effort to better understand the needs of genealogists. The information from these surveys is used to improve the resources and information served on the Genealogy Today web site.

If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as zip code).

Please note: if there is a contest associated with a particular survey, you will be asked to submit your name and e-mail address. This information will NOT be stored with the survey results, keeping the survey anonymous.
