Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Favorite Genealogy-Related YouTube Channels

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1)  Do you watch YouTube videos on a regular basis?  What are your favorite YouTube channels for genealogy research?

2) Tell us about your favorite YouTube channels in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook Status  post.  Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

Here's mine:

Ever since I started writing Genealogy Education Bytes, I have been monitoring specific YouTube channels that pertain to genealogy and family history.  I now have 114 channels on my watch list.  

The YouTube channels that I never miss include:

DearMYRTLE's Archive -- I participate in this almost every program and try to contribute to the discussion.

BYU Library Family History -- this channel often has two or three hour-long sessions each week, many of them related to FamilySearch.  

LisaLisson -- Lisa has excellent research topics in a 10 to 20 minute video each week.

Genealogy TV -- Connie Knox has excellent reasearch topics in a 10 to 30 minute video each week.

Aimee Cross - Genealogy Hints -- Aimee has excellent research topics in a 10 to 20 minute video each week.

Family Locket -- Diana Elder and Nicole Dyer have excellent research topics (especially DNA and AI) in a 5 to 30 minute video (or podcast) each week.

Your DNA Guide -- Diahan Southard often has DNA-related videos on her channel that are very helpful.

I keep finding new channels - usually from a reference on Facebook or in a blog post.  There are many genealogy-related channels - almost every genealogy company has a channel, some channels are "once in awhile," other channels are dormant, but may return.  I wish that there were more AI-related channels - maybe there will be more in months to come. 

I much prefer genealogy video to podcasts - I learn best by watching how to do something and not listening to someone describe how to do something. 

I usually don't watch every minute of every channel - I often speed-watch looking at graphics, but do listen to how-to videos that can help me perform a task.
