- Genealogy bloggers on BlueSky. So many genealogy folks have begun posting on the BlueSkyplatform that I wanted to gather, in one place, their blog links. The list contains links to 115 genealogy-related blogs!
- Augusta Sarah Markell's short life. This post was popular, I think, because a newly-created Find a Grave memorial gave me the critical clue I needed to learn about a little girl who didn't appear in Census records. A reminder to revisit research and redo searches because new stuff appears all the time.
- Change, monitor, hands off? Many people rely on and contribute to the collaborative FamilySearch family tree. However, knowing that anyone can change any ancestor, I wrote about my decisions to change or monitor or just leave it alone, inspired by a blog post from James Tanner.
- Full-text surprise: Divorce papers! I was noodling around in FamilySearch's full-text search function, plugging in names of various ancestors, when up popped a link to unindexed but discoverable legal documents, including the contentious divorce initiated by hubby's brave grandma in 1901. Wow.
- Back up your family history! This post showed, step by step, how to download a gedcom copy of a family tree from Ancestry, MyHeritage, and WikiTree. It seems a lot of people wanted to try out these download procedures. Or maybe it was the exclamation point that drew attention?!!
Thank you to my wonderful readers for stopping by and sometimes leaving comments. I really appreciate you!
This is cool. I usually do this at my blog's anniversary.
