I’ll be out for a few days, I’m working on a photo book for the family and it’s taking up all my time, and I’ve also been reading a very interesting book that I’ll be posting a review about when I get back.
Victor Keegan has an article in The Guardian’s technology section, Meet the ancestors – they’re coming online, about how much genealogy information is being placed online. It’s just kind of a general overview of the major genealogy sites, although with a tilt towards UK-oriented sites/companies.
Jimmy Kavanagh, of JMK Genealogy Gifts, has expanded his genealogy gift lineup, to include the following new designs:
DNA Jigsaw
Genealogy & Family History – solving the puzzle of where we come from
Family Tree Jigsaw
If you are looking for a gift for a fellow genealogist, or perhaps something interesting to wear next time you go traipsing through cemeteries, you might want to check them.
Steven Scarpa has an article for the Record-Journal (Meriden, CT), All in the Family: Middle School Teacher Traces His Roots, about a person researching their family’s history – it’s a good little article covering amateur genealogists, and one of those signs of how mainstream genealogy is fast becoming. The focus of the article, Gary O’Neil, mentions how difficult it can be at times, as well as the fact that it’s not a simple “sit down an do it in a few weekends” kind of project. It’s a positive article about genealogy and how popular it’s becoming.
