It’s official, I’m taking the Family History Writing Challenge, which runs all through February! Offered by The Armchair Genealogist, this attracted me because, although I find myself doing the mechanics of genealogy, I often need to put pen to paper, or fingers to the keyboard, and see what happens.
And also, my blog deserves more than an occasional post. So, here goes. I’m hoping to turn the corner on procrastination in both areas. Added incentive: Reading other people’s blog posts definitely inspires me, so I’ll bet I meet some interesting people with the same interests along the way!
I’d like to know: what are your favorite genealogy blogs?
We went to the Dallas Public Library, 8th floor, Genealogy section this weekend. What a treat! The research librarian was so helpful and directed me to the stacks and the card catalog.
Although I have worked in libraries before, it has been some time since I held a drawer of index cards in my hand. It was like meeting an old friend again 🙂
I spent most of my time in the Pennsylvania reference section and before I knew it, had found lots of information about someone who might be my fourth great grandfather.
Can’t wait to scan and add these records to my tree and print out the family group sheet. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back to do more research!
I’d like to know: which libraries do you rely on for genealogy research?
Looking forward to researching and sharing information about ourselves, our ancestors and our descendants. I’ll be sharing my discoveries in this blog and invite others interested in genealogy to comment, share and like as they wish.
Check out the surnames I’m researching that are listed under the Welcome tab. I’d like to know: which names you’re searching for as well.
