Links
This is an non-exhaustive list of the Internet sources that I used for building my site.
I used SOME of these sites in building the history of our family, and also the complete Family Tree diagrams.
WARNING : Internet links are very volatile. Webmasters sometimes lose interest in their sites, or simply drop their subscriptions.
Some of these links may not work in the future ! The links are NOT neccessarily in order of importance, however each reference
is preceded by a number (from 1 to 5) indicating the value of the site for obtaining Nugent information. (1 is most valuable, 5 is least valuable).
(1) Site by the famous Leo Van de Pas - Very instructive about the De Nugent Family - We enter the site "somewhere". Then follow your nose up and down the tree!
Click on this link - Genealogics
(1) The Stirnet Project - A vital source of information which I used to help build my tree. It used to be free, but unfortunately it is now a paying site. I got my
information out while there was still time. However, there is a workaround. Click on "N" to get the N names, then you will see Nugent01 through Nugent05 in the list.
If you click any of these entries, you will get a "Login for Membership" page, but only after a few seconds. You have just enough time to take one screen copy.
After taking the screen copy, use the back arrow, then the window slider to move down the list, and take another screencopy (You have to be fast!)
It takes time to build up the complete document, but it works.
