James County, Tennessee, Historical Society
http://www.jcths.blogspot.com
Blog type: Genealogy society blog, Tennessee genealogy
Today, begins a new era for me. I am stepping outside of my box and am putting myself out there for everyone to see. I have always feared writing, for it showed my inadequacies in spades. But, I have so much to share with everyone, that I thought? I would give it a shot. I have been awarded the privilege of access to the James County Historical Society archive. I know that you, along with me, want to see what they have and, in the process, learn about this lost county of Tennessee. Together, we will learn about the history of the county, the people that inhabited it and what motivated them. I would love for this to be a joint effort between you and me. There will be things that I know about from the listed documents and some details that you may know more than I.? For instance, I will post a picture of a family from the area, but will not know who they are. Hopefully, someone out there will have the answers. I am looking forward to this process of archiving the Society?s information.? Please forward all comments and pictures that you have, as well.

Picking Up Breadcrumbs
http://pickingupbreadcrumbs.blogspot.com
Blog type: Individual family history
A few years ago, my father handed me a flash drive with a copy of our family tree on it. I?ve dabbled in working on it, but there is already so much done. I never thought I?d be able to pick up on dead ends that my family was having. I set it aside.
Recently, we moved to Oklahoma so that I could be a stay at home mom. This gave me time to pursue my interests. One of them was that flash drive. In January, Dad was out for a visit and we went to the local family history library to get some information. I saw a sign asking for volunteers. I signed up. Since that time, I?ve managed to not only make huge strides in working on my step-mothers family tree, but make huge breakthroughs in my own family history. Some of the breakthroughs were things that I never thought I would have. Ever.
I decided to start a blog after listening to Lisa Louise Cooke?s seminar on blog and podcasts at Rootstech 2012. Lisa runs the Genealogy Gems podcast, and she mentioned how much could be done, just by posting a blog and discussing my progress. So? here we are.
Since my parents worked so hard on our family history, I can?t really say that I?m working on my family tree, since all of the obvious work has already been done. Right now, I feel like Hansel and Gretel wandering through the woods following a breadcrumb trail. I?m looking for the bits, pieces, hints and clues that will lead me to places that my parents never managed to reach. I?m gathering breadcrumbs by locating the documents to support the work that is already complete, and making sure that the work that has been done is accurate. Unfortunately this also means that a beginner at genealogy is working on projects at a much higher skill level than I now possess. I?m hoping that by logging my progress and trials, I can reach out to the genealogy community for help and guidance, but maybe some other poor sap in my situation will be able to learn from my dumb mistakes.
I?m sure there will be plenty to learn from.
The Genealogy Workshop
http://thegenealogyworkshop.com
Blog type: UK genealogy
Welcome to my blog.? My name is Nicola Elsom,? I grew up in north Essex and my personal family history research has centered on Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and London.
Upon leaving school, I also left Essex to study Biology at Oxford University, after which I trained and worked as a Chartered Accountant in London. In recent years I have continued to live in London and have been a? full time mum to my two children.
I began researching my family history in 1997, and I find myself, in 2012, absolutely amazed at the changes that have taken place in the world of Genealogy in 15 years.? Every time I return to my research there is a new website, a new index, a new catalogue at an archive, and countless other new means to push forward my research.
There have been times when I have felt I could barely keep up with the changes, and I have resolved that in 2012 I will not only explore the many new resources? at the disposal of family historians, but I will share some of my work via this blog with the hope of informing and inspiring others.? I aim to make this blog a source of information on the developments in English family history research.?? I also plan to widen my research to take in other sources that I have not previously explored.
I have always been as interested in learning about the lives of my ancestors, as I have in searching for names from ever earlier dates, and I hope to uncover more stories of their lives.
And finally, no, that?s not me in the photo, although I am thinking of starting a collection of vintage hats.? Her name is Isobel Elsom and she was a film star.? I?ll blog about her one day.
The MGC Sentinel
http://massgencouncil.org/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=latest&Itemid=127
Blog type: Genealogy society blog, Massachusetts genealogy
Greetings! The Massachusetts Genealogical Council (MGC) is very excited to introduce our new blog, The MGC Sentinel. With this new vehicle of communication we hope to provide another source of information on issues concerning legislation that threatens access to public records.
The MGC Sentinel will not be restricted to legislative issues ?? we will also provide updates about our annual seminar and anything else we think might interest members of the genealogical community. It will be free and open to the public. We are in the planning stages for our July 21st seminar, ?Ethnicity and Genealogy,? so stay tuned for some exciting news! We?re aiming to present the best MGC seminar ever. Big shoes to fill, but we can try!
You will note that our new blog?s logo has repetitions of the Boston State House in different colors and intensities. This is meant to reflect the different reactions that we all have as individuals to one fact. We all see things differently. We will showcase a variety of authors, each writing in his or her individual voice, mostly MGC Executive Board members, but occasionally we would like to host guest bloggers as well. It is my fervent wish that readers will leave comments telling us their own experiences in making their voices heard on Capitol Hill and in their local state governments. It is our aim to make sure that by displaying all of the colors and letting all voices be heard we will come out with a true representation of the facts.

Throwaway Map
http://www.throwawaymap.com
Blog type: Individual family history
I?ve been researching my own ancestry since I was 19 years old; almost twenty years ago at this point. I have bits and pieces of my ideas scattered on paper, old websites, and blog posts on services that don?t exist anymore. I figured it was time to put it all in one place.
