The January 2009 issue of Family Tree Magazine came today in the mail, and I read it while waiting for my wife to finish doing her email work before dinner.
David A. Fryxell in his article "Power Hour" - 14 genealogy jobs you can do on your lunch break - recommended that readers Read a blog. Great advice! He listed four -
* Ancestry Insider (http://ancestryinsider.blogspot.com) delivers techno-gossip and tips not only on Ancestry.com, but also that other genealogy giant, FamilySearch.
* Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter (http://blog.eogn.com) offers "straight talk" from knowledgeable online genealogy veteran Dick Eastman.
* Genea-Musings (http://www.geneamusings.com) gives you news and how-tos on Web sites, software and more.
* The Genealogue (http://www.genealogue.com) introduces you to the lighter side of genealogy, featuring Letterman-style top 10 lists such as "Least Useful Ancestry Databases."
There are, of course, many more genealogy blogs worthy of being mentioned. Genea-Musings is honored to be included in that short list.
He is right, of course. Blogs are a great way to spend a lunch hour at work, or a spare hour at home, for researchers to learn something new or just take a break from the stresses of the day.
Welcome to my genealogy blog. Genea-Musings features genealogy research tips and techniques, genealogy news items and commentary, genealogy humor, San Diego genealogy society news, family history research and some family history stories from the keyboard of Randy Seaver (of Chula Vista CA), who thinks that Genealogy Research Is really FUN!
