A Southern Sleuth
http://www.asouthernsleuth.com
Blog type: Individual family history
When I was growing up in the 60?s and 70?s, I loved watching TV shows with ?secret agents?. I watched shows such as Mod Squad, Man from Uncle, Get Smart and Dragnet and I used to tell myself that someday, when I grew up, I would be a secret agent. Little did I know that someday, in a way, I would become like a detective. However, instead of racing around in fancy cars in big cities, my investigations would take me to libraries, museums, archives and cemeteries, searching among the records of those long gone. A Southern Sleuth is a blog about my search for my southern roots.
I have been actively researching for 17 years primarily in the areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and even the southern portion of Colorado. When my nose isn?t in a quarterly or other genealogy book or publication, I am researching or attending a genealogy conference, institute, online class or webinar . I obtained a bachelor?s degree in Family and Child Psychology from Brigham Young University and I am currently pursuing a certificate from the National Institute for Genealogical Studies. Presently I teach a local genealogy class.
Ancestor Chase
http://www.ancestorchase.com
Blog type: Individual family history
My goal for this blog is to share the many things I have learned about genealogy during the past thirty years.? The plan is to cover a wide range of topics such as research tips, searching on line, interesting stories, plus more.? I love writing and talking about all things related to genealogy, plus I love to help others who have this ?obsession?.? I am from Western Pennsylvania so I have the most experience in that region.? However I have gained knowledge in so many more states as I have ?chased? my ancestors across the country.
Blogging About GenBooks
http://bloggingaboutgenbooks.blogspot.com
Blog type: Genealogy education
In Blogging about GenBooks, I review, evaluate, and make recommendations for books (in all their glorious formats) about genealogy, family history, and related topics. The heart of my career as a librarian is to connect people with books that meet their needs. Over the years, I?ve selected new titles for a large public library system and written reviews for professional library journals. You can expect independent reviews about new and classic books that will further your genealogical research.

Dogwood Branches
http://dogwoodbranches.wordpress.com
Blog type: Individual family history
Originally from Virginia, I now live in Atlanta.? I am a legal assistant by day and an amateur genealogist by night ? and all weekend, if I can get away with it.? I began researching my family?s history in 2010, and the process was completely addictive.? Despite my firm belief while growing up that I was Irish, my roots are firmly planted in the soil of England, and on both sides of my family, you will find farmers, farmers, and more farmers.? Except for the current generation, that is ? none of us seem to be able to be able to grow a decent tomato to save our lives.? I?ll also be posting from time to time about things I find in my husband?s family tree, as well as the occasional ?guest post? with fun things from the information I?ve dug up on the ancestors of a friend or two.? Let?s see what I can find ?.
Ellie?s Ancestors
http://elliesancestors.blogspot.com
Blog type: Individual family history
I am married and live here in the ?burbs outside Rochester with my husband and two Yorkshire Terriers. My three children are grown, but one lives at home while finishing his degree, I make him share a room with the Yorkies (kidding). While I work part time at a ?day job? genealogy is my true pursuit. I just started a local look-up service and had my first client, Yahoo! goodbye ?day job?. I can get lost in researching my ancestors for hours at a time, I suspect I enjoy it so much because they can?t talk back like the husband, kids and dogs.
Family Heritage Remnants of Time
http://familyheritageremnantsoftime.blogspot.com
Blog type: Individual family history
Come! Share the Journey of Family Heritage Stories, Laced With Patterns of Living Throughout Generations of Time. We Are All A Remnant of A Rich Tapestry, Waiting to Be Rewoven Together.
Many of us find ourselves longing for a connection to something, or someone from the days we cannot touch; sometimes inspired by a photograph or a scrap of withering notation we found tucked away between the pages of a book in a long-forgotten trunk, or some emotion we cannot ignore. There seems to be a common thread that connects us all to the past; be it a name, an expression, or a geographical placement in this timeline we call mortality. Whatever it is that connects us, and draws our thoughts and hearts to one another, seems to be the passion that brings us to this blogging thing. My hope for any connection leads me to share with you some commonalities in blogging, daring to claim a place among the great writers; but if nothing more than my own journaling, it will be a tangible way for me to make sense of my own individuality, vulnerabilities, and emotions as I continue on this journey called life. I hope this blog may encourage and uplift.

Grandma?s Picture Box
http://grandmaspicturebox.wordpress.com
Blog type: Photography blog
For years, when my husband and I would go to antique stores and flea markets, I would see boxes and shelves of old family photos, and it would make me sad to think that so many of them had left the hands of their families. Earlier this year, I stumbled across the 48-Hour Ephemera Challenge set up by Caroline Pointer at her own blog.? The challenge is to take a weekend and do online research in order to find the family of a mystery photo or postcard.? I began to wonder if I could do that on my own ? surely my genealogy research muscles had developed to the point where I could at least find a family contact.? So I went to a local antique store, bought some old photos, came home and got to work.? Within two hours, I had matched a photo with a family, and sent an e-mail.? I got a response, and a new hobby was born!? It?s addicting and very gratifying when I contact someone who has perhaps never seen a photo of an ancestor.? I told friends about it, and my husband suggested I blog about it.? I saw that several other folks had the same idea, and decided to take the plunge myself.? So I did, and here?s the result ? Grandma?s Picture Box.
Hylbom Family Ancestry Project
http://www.hylbom.com/family/
Blog type: Individual family history
My name is Tor Hylbom, and this is my website / blog.? I have been fascinated by genealogy for many years, but it was only since some time in 2011 that I have been working in earnest on a family history project to find out as much as I can about my ancestors.? This site became ?live? on 11 May 2012, and I?m making information available here as quickly as I can complete my research, and I?m able to post it.? Slowly, a book is taking shape, which makes the modest claim of being A COLLECTION OF FAMILY HISTORY NOTES, gathered from secondary sources available in libraries or digital archives (some of which I hope to store on the site, copyright considerations permitting).? As work proceeds, I will be updating my progress in my blog and posting drafts of my research for others to explore if they are interested.
