Enjoying the World of Blogs

I enjoy reading blogs. Sometimes I get so involved reading other people’s blogs, I forget to write my own! Obviously most of the blogs I read are about genealogy, but I also enjoy blogs geared toward moms and homemaking ideas. I am rather “old fashioned” in that regard. Perhaps that’s why I relate to my female ancestors so well. I like to think we are not that different.


I like seeing what other bloggers are up to as well as their thoughts on current genealogical trends or new databases. Genealogy bloggers are a source of education for me. When someone posts about how they overcame a brick wall in their research, I often pick up hints or tips to try when attempting to scale my brick walls.

If you are looking for genealogy blogs to read, I encourage you to check out Geneabloggers.com. This is a great site with a frequently updated listing of over 1,000 genealogy related blogs. If you are looking for genealogy blogs of a certain type or category, you can search the listing that way as well.


So, what are some of the blogs to I read?

  2. Thank you so much for your kind words, Lisa - and not only that, but you have expressed very eloquently my feelings about reading blogs and listed some of my favorite blogs, too! It's as though the genealogy blogosphere is a sort of educational institution on its own!

  3. A belated thank you for the mention Lisa. I seem to have the same challenge as you - I get so busy reading sometimes I forget to write my own posts! It's just so much fun to learn from others.
