Geneabloggers have been challenged to 52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy, as a way to share the gems of resources we have found in our own research. This week's request is for information about the genealogy blog that are we most thankful-- is it an early blog? or a current blog? why should others read this blog?
I am a relative newbee to genealogy blogs. I had been reading other kinds of blogs, but genealogy ones weren't on my radar. Last year, I found the Geneabloggers website and thought I should post a blog I had started in an effort to find one of my mystery women, Ursula WRIGHT. I started that blog with the idea that maybe, just maybe someone else was looking for her, would see my blog and contact me. Then I got to thinking I could write a more geneal blog also after reading others.
I read a bunch of genealogy blogs now by wonderful authors. Some I read daily. I love checking to see who has posted to G+ their latest blog posting.
I always read Randy Seaver's Geneamusings. I find his daily posts interesting and covering a wide range of topics. I've found ancestors in his Surname Saturday postings, interesting links to other blogs in his weekly review of other blogs, felt challenged by his Saturday Night Challenge (even if I don't always do it), enjoyed his "not so wordless Wordless postings," learned about webinars to help educate me, and learned about Geneabloggers radio which has become part of my Friday night entertainment. His blog is always a wealth of information.
For years I've tried to climb numerous "brick walls" as I've worked on my family history -- many of my challenges are my women ancestors. I've met many wonderful, helpful genealogists, town clerks, historians, and societies along the way. Some of the names I'm working on: DAKIN, WORTHINGTON, SEARING, RICHARDSON, DeLOSS/LOSS, COPELAND, HARVEY, WRIGHT, EVANS, HELSTEN, SMITH (Conn.), HEARTY, ROBBERT, BOGART, NYE, BLODGETT & COBB.
