Reading genealogy blogs allows me to keep up with the latest genealogical innovations, resources, and learning opportunities.
I use Feedly to follow the blogs I like. Feedly is an app and website that helps you keep track of articles and blog posts from your favorite websites all in one place.
There are three blog posts published each week—one on Friday, one on Saturday, and one on Sunday—that I never miss reading. These posts highlight content from the week - blog posts and articles that include new announcements from the genealogical community, how-to guides, resources, and other genealogists' reflections and stories. Occasionally, my own blog is featured in these lists.
As tomorrow is Friday, you will want to start with Linda Stufflebean's "Friday's Family History Finds" on her blog, Empty Branches on the Family Tree. She categorizes her findings under the headings: Family Stories, Research Resources, Tech News, Genetic Genealogy, Methodology, Education, and Keeping Up with the Times.
On Saturdays, Gail Dever posts "This week’s crème de la crème" on her blog Genealogy à la carte. This is a daily genealogy news blog from Montréal, Québec.
Randy Seaver posts "Best of the Genea-Blogs" every Sunday on Genea-Musings. Randy writes that he chooses posts that "advance knowledge about genealogy and family history, address current genealogy issues, provide personal family history, are funny or are poignant."
Blogs provide countless learning opportunities and have greatly simplified staying updated and motivated in my genealogy research. I'm grateful to the bloggers who consistently share their valuable content every week.

Diana, Thanks for the shout out. Blogs are a great way to keep up with news in the genealogy world and to find info about our ancestors. I wish more bloggers would start a "best of" list once a week. It's how I learn about new bloggers to follow. I've been happily blogging away for over 10 years now and I still love it. It keeps me on track with my research, too. If your readers are interested in starting a blog, GeneaBloggers dot com is a great way to learn more.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. You made some really good points. I will add them and GeneaBloggers to my newsletter.
