Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library: Search your surnames in their worldwide database or just browse the listings, which are carefully grouped by country/state/county. We are grateful for the volunteers who have lovingly walked each cemetery and painstakingly transcribed the inscriptions for us.
Ancestry.com Hometown: Although some services on this site are free, many important resources are available only to paid subscribers.
Google Groups: Search newsgroups for mention of your surnames and/or locations. I've found several connections in newsgroups I don't subscribe to through this search engine. Try it!
How far is it?: This service uses data from the US Census and a supplementary database of world cities to find the latitude and longitude of two places, and then calculates the distance between them (as the crow flies). It also provides a map showing the two places, using the Xerox PARC Map Server.
Internet Sleuth: Arts - Genealogy: Search a multitude of Genealogy sites from this page.
