Welcome

Welcome to our family history and genealogy blog. This blog has articles on family and local history and genealogy and related topics. Most of them are general articles on things like research resources, places, people and events. For more personal family news and news about our own family history research, see our other blog here. If you think you might be related to us and want to see some specific information about our family history, check our family history wiki.

Would you be interested in using an event-based historical research program?

What do you think of the new FamilySearch?
