Now that I've got my generic favorites out of the way, these are some of my possibly lesser known faves:
5. Golden Nugget Library
6. Siskiyou Cemetery Central
7. Find-A-Grave
8. Civil War Soldiers and Sailors
9. Newspaper Archive from the Library of Congress
10. Siskiyou History
Here's a bonus ten:

12. Ellis Island (also check out: Castle Garden if trying to find immigrant ancestors!)
13. US Dept. of Veterans Affairs (the Gravesite Locator is especially helpful)
14. Trinity Church History and Registers (the landmark early church in New York has many online records)
15. Paper Trail (my John R. Shinn's journal is listed there along with MANY others)
16. NY Times Article Archives
