ChicagoAncestors.org provides a RSS feed. RSS is an Internet technology that allows you to subscribe to Web resources. Rather than having to check Web sites for updates, the Web sites will notify you when they have new content. You can get started using RSS feeds by installing a feed reader.

A feed reader is a program that attaches to your web browser. Generally, these programs are free and can be installed easily by following the instructions on their websites.

Microsoft provides information on RSS Readers compatible with Internet Explorer.

For RSS readers compatible with the Firefox browser, users might use Sage or use the browser's live bookmarks feature.

Many people prefer using a web-based RSS reader. Rather than download a reader, users create an account at a web-based service- Bloglines is a popular, free example of the web-based RSS readers.
