You will not find specific information, such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, genealogical information, or business addresses on PlacesNamed.com. There are several excellent sources for these kinds of specific information, and we have listed some of the best sources below. Places Named is mainly a geographic encyclopedia, although it includes other non-geographic information like the popularity of proper names within the United States.

Below are the best resources on the Internet for specific kinds of information:
