Genealogy Blogs

How to Use Your Genealogy Blog to Further Your Research:
Here is a wonderful comment by a genealogy expert:
"Having your own genealogy blogs are not just fun to do. They are another wonderful way to store information about your surnames of interests. Web pages disappear all the time. This is a good way to keep the valuable information. This is a way to have people contact you and help you further your research."

How to Use Your Genealogy Blog to Further Your Research:
"About this whole 'blog thing.' Why are they so special?
The search engines love blogs because there is usually fresh content added frequently.
This a HUGE advantage to you as a genealogy researcher because people who are looking up information on surnames (last names) that you have genealogy blogs set up on, will be able to find you easily.
And, since you know how to add the 'I will be glad to share more information with you' statement (see part one of this lesson), you will be able to get more information that YOU need with very little effort."

How to create your own genealogy blog in less than 5 minutes:

"You may be thinking, 'So, WHY do I need a genealogy blog?'
The short answer is:


  • So that other genealogy researchers can find your blog (set up around a SURNAME you are interested in).


  • The visitor to your blog finds something interesting on it that helps them.


  • They contact you, the helpful blog owner, and SHARE information with you that can help further YOUR genealogy research.
