Crash Course in Genealogy/Family History: Read GeneaBloggers
One best way to learn how to do Genealogy, that is, build your Family Tree: Read GeneaBloggers
This lens will lead you to the GeneaBloggers community site, created by Thomas MacEntee, with over 2000 genealogy related bloggers talking about interesting and useful activities EVERY DAY. You can focus on WHAT you want to know, HOW to do it, and WHAT COMES NEXT. I'll make a few other suggestions, to help you get started. Read through the lens to the end, for best results.
I am not Thomas MacEntee, but I support each of his efforts, and I hope you will as well, as I share some elements of the community with you.
Come visit, and see if this is what you need. I think you will find it is.
Link List, in my view
These are blogs I want to recommend at this point. This list may be updated, from time to time.
- GeneaBloggers
This is the primary site of this lens. - Dr. Bill Tells Ancestor Stories
This is my blog. It is not the greatest, perhaps, but I could not possibly not list it! ;-) - Genea-Musings
This is the blog of Randy Seaver. I would not be without my RSS feed on my Genealogy iGoogle page of Randy's blog. He usually has at least three posts a day, much more than the average. I don't read every one in detail, but I really hate to miss the - Planting the seeds: Genealogy as a Profssion
This blog is not for everyone - unless you want some really well-written, concise, very credible information on methods and processes of genealogy this blog is hard to beat. Again, check it out, from time to time, and see what you think about it. ;-) - Marian's Roots and Rambles
This blog by Marian Pierre-Louis is just plain worth reading regularly. Marian 'speaks her mind' - you never know what to expect, except it is usual well worth the time to read it.
Daily Blogging Prompts
Daily Blogging Prompts, in my opinion, are useful in two ways.
First, they give you an organized method of seeking out the information you need to answer your questions and obtain interesting and useful information.
Second, when you decide to create your own blog about your genealogy experience, and I hope and assume you will, Daily Blogging Prompts help organize your initial efforts... until you find your own way. I still use a few of the Daily Blogging Prompts every week, after two plus years.
Book I have written, on Amazon - Check them out, you might find something you like. Thanks!
These two are my fiction works. I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments; use Feedback.
Available in both print and Kindle formats.
Listen to GeneaBlogger Radio!
Hosted by Thomas with well known and respected guests
This is a great venue for you to learn more answers to the questions you bring with you.
These are weekly broadcasts that normally run for 90 minutes each. You listen via your computer.
The subjects discussed are often the subject of blogs, on Facebook, and on Twitter for days after each broadcast.
Topics are usually selected to match current topics in the field that are on the minds of many people. The best way to know is to read the GeneaBloggers blogs and other blogs, as well.
Great Stuff on Amazon - Amazon recommendations related to genealogy
I hope you find these recommendations useful. Your feedback would be appreciated. This module will change regularly, so if you see something interesting, please click through and consider buying if you are interested.
"May I Introduce to you"
This is a weekly feature at http://www.geneabloggers.com/
"May I Introduce to you" is a feature, written by Gini Webb for Thomas, that introduces new, and not so new, genealogy bloggers to the rest of the blogging community.
It is a very positive feeling to be interviewed.
We each get to know the person being interviewed, and usually follow their blog for a while to see if they offer something we feel we need.
