The June 2010 edition of Practical Family History magazine includes a two page article on family history blogs by Sheena Tait, who also has a blog.
The article is entitled “Web resources for… Blogs for genealogy” and includes sections on commercial blogs, genealogical news and personal blogs, with examples in each categories. The article opens with a description of what a blog is and ways to read them, and closes with some suggestions on how to find blogs and some suggestions for feed readers.
I am proud to say that my blog gets a mention (and a screenshot) in the section on personal blogs, so I would like to thank Sheena and Practical Family History for giving me a mention.
The article does mention that “genealogy blogs are dominated by American writers and topics but there are now a growing number focused on the UK and Ireland”, so it is good that the article mainly focuses on UK and Irish blogs.
The other personal blogs mentioned were:
Hi John
You’re welcome! I was determined to find UK focused blogs for the feature rather than the US-based ones that get most of the coverage online; and I enjoy reading your blog (I subscribe through your feed).
All the best
Sheena
Thanks again Sheena,
It’s not easy finding UK focused blogs, there aren’t many of us about, I wish there were more.
