YouTube for Genealogists

I would never have thought YouTube would have anything to offer a genealogist, but I found several nice videos. One was about the 'joy' of genealogy research sponsored by World Vital Records which was very well done. Several were very helpful for first time genealogists in that they offer short lessons on specific types of records. One of the videos made me laugh out loud. It was from the Birmingham library and featured the little yellow marshmallow Peeps. They called it "Finding Your Peeps" and produced it like a silent movie, tinkly piano and all. I thought it was a clever way to advertise their services and materials for genealogists.
