It’s really a math website, but it will do a variety of things that a genealogist might find helpful, including:

  • Calculate the days between two dates–sample.
  • Specific number of years, months, and days before a certain date–sample.
  • Specific number of years, months, and days after a certain date–sample.
  • What day of week a date was on (and other historical facts about that date)–sample.
  • When a holiday was in a certain year–sample.
  • Popularity and other information about a first name–sample. Doesn’t work so well with unusual names.
  • Popularity and other information about a last name–sample. Doesn’t work so well with unusual names.
  • Information on a town in a specific state–sample.
  • Geographic conversions–sample. (Google’s good at these too)
  • Cousinship questions–sample. Their chart isn’t the best, but it gives an idea. Here’s a better question.

There are other things you may find helpful on WolframAlpha.com as well–including math stuff!
