Organize Your Family History

Stay focused and happy while exploring your roots

Keeping up with blogs

August 5, 2014 By Janine Adams 30 Comments

How do you manage your blog reading?There are so many great genealogy blogs out there. (I’m flattered that you’re reading this one when you have so many choices!) I am delighted to be part of the GeneaBloggers community, which points me to new and existing genealogy blogs, but I know I underutilize it.

Today I’m pondering how I might do a better job of (a) finding genealogy blogs to read; (b) remembering to read them and (c) finding the time to do so.

So I thought I’d turn to my readers. You guys are such a great source of information. Would you mind telling me how you organize your genealogy blog reading? Do you use RSS feeds and, if so, what platform do you use to read them?I’ve been thinking I could create a Flipboard of favorite blogs but I haven’t even explored it.

I think this is one of those situations where I’m overwhelmed by options and don’t know how to go about researching it without it turning into a huge time suck.

Any advice is much appreciated! I’ll do a follow-up post with the results of this little poll so we can all benefit. (I’d also love to hear what your five favorite genealogy blogs are!)

Thank you!!

Nuts about genealogy blogs? Check out GeneaBloggers!

January 24, 2013 By Janine Adams 9 Comments

GeneaBloggers logoI recently became aware of GeneaBlogger, which is a great resource for bloggers and blog readers alike. In its Genealogy Blog Roll it lists (alphabetically) over 3,000 genealogy blogs (including this one) you can peruse. I didn’t know there were that many genealogy blogs in existence!

If you’re a genealogy blogger, it offers daily blog prompts and a weekly e-newsletter.

I’ve been wanting to take the time to explore more genealogy blogs and I’m so delighted to have this resource to make it so easy! I’ll be “liking” the Facebook pages of favorite blogs, so I’ll have their updates handy. (If you’re on Facebook and haven’t done so already, please like the Organize Your Family History Facebook page.)

Happy GeneaExploring!

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
