This week
Splogging is the subject of the week:
“Splog Alert – Rootsfeed.com Violating Copyright” and “Rootsfeed Update” at Geneabloggers
“Splog Happens” at footnoteMaven
“Real GeneaBloggers don’t SPLOG” at Dear Myrtle
“A Genealogy Splog” at Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter
“Really Simple Syndication – or Stealing?” at TransylvanianDutch
“RSS Feeds and Splogs – a legal view” at Genealogy’s Star
and probably some others that I have missed.
The past year has been one during which many of our fellow GeneaBloggers have lost close family members. Cindy at Everything’s Relative has written an extraordinary tribute to her father in “The First Father’s Day.”
Leah at The Internet Genealogist provides some helpful hints for genealogy searches at Archive.org in “Follow Friday: Archives.org Genealogy Sub-Categories.”
Valerie at Begin with Craft provides an informative table on terms and prices for obtaining vital records in the southern states in “The Price of Research in the South.”
There has been excellent coverage of the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree. This week Miriam at AnceStories wrote a post reviewing her experience there and outlining how she would approach her next convention in “Southern California Genealogical Society’s 2010 Jamboree: The Conclusion.” This post really hit home for me as I look forward to attending the FGS Conference.
At GeneaBloggers Thomas MacEntee has inaugurated a great new “theme” – “Open Thread Thursday” - with a timely topic in “Open Thread Thursday: Virtual Presentations.”
Denise Levenick at The Family Curator has some great advice for her fellow genealogy bloggers in “Summer Survival Guide for Genealogy Bloggers – What is your Blog Doing for Summer Vacation?”
A fascinating online database is featured by Diane Haddad, the Genealogy Insider, in “Historical Photo Database Shows NYC’s Lower East Side Tenements.”
Bill West of West in New England has started a new blog of reflections on non-genealogy topics: East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
This week I started following these blogs:
Ancestors Connect
Branches of My Family Tree
The Brickwall Society
Daily Tombstone Photo
Jirene’s Genealogy Treasures
Pawprints Guiding Me to the Past
Reflections on Genealogy Research
Sassy Jane Genealogy
Touching Family History
