I love using (and indexing) 'neglected' records that are great for overcoming brick walls in family history. Most of these sources have information about people from all over the world. You may be surprised to find your ancestors or their siblings mentioned in records held in distant lands!
... An updated version of this post (Oct 2020) is in my UK/Australia Genealogy blog at https://uk-australia.blogspot.com/2020/10/40-favourite-genealogy-resources.html
Information for family historians worldwide, including Australia, UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Europe, South Africa etc. There are also links to my locality-specific genealogy blogs.
