I learned last week that Family Tree Magazine has named me one of the top five genealogy blogs. Thank you, Family Tree Magazine. I am grateful to your editorial’s staff’s encouragement that I stick with blogging even though I’m a poor writer. Hopefully, I make up for it by presenting useful content.
Speaking of which, enough about me. Let me give you something actually useful. The other four genealogy blogs are
- Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter – “The Daily Online Genealogy Newsletter”
- GeneaBloggers – “The ultimate site for your genealogy blog – an online community created by Thomas MacEntee”
- Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems – “A genealogy and family history multi-media company."”
- The Genealogy Guys Podcast – “George G. Morgan and Drew Smith discuss genealogy. This is the longest-running, regularly produced genealogy podcast in the world!”
Family Tree Magazine honored YouTube as a sixth choice. I’ve discovered the same thing of late. Here’s just some of the useful channels I’ve looked at:
- Ancestry.com
- BYU Family History Library
- DearMYRTLE
- ExtremeGenes – (Scott Fisher has a soft spot in my heart because I won stuff on his radio show when I was in college!)

ReplyDeleteWhat makes your blog one of the best is that it is easy reading, and as a former English teacher, that is the best kind of writing. So pat yourself on the back, boy!
