366 Days of Genealogy

Starting today I am going to post one tip each day for the rest of the year. There will be 366 posts because this year is a leap year. The posts will be on the Blair Archival Facebook page every day and then a synopsis will be put on the Passionate Genealogist at the end of the month.

Happy New Year

I would like to wish all my readers a very Happy New Year and a Happy Hogmanay.

May you finally break down that brick wall in 2012!

Ruth’s Recommendations

Here are my favourite blog posts from this past week.

The Findmypast blog has a post regarding “Start Your Family Tree Week” in the UK although I think it can be done in North America as well. It goes from 26 December through 1 January. They are running a competition and provide you with some prompts to start your research.

The Intrepid Band blog had a post called “Mrs. Seacole at Christmas” which looks at the experiences of Mrs. Seacole a nurse in the Crimean War.

Chris Paton of the British GENES (GEnealogy News and EventS) blog is holding a competition. The winner receives a copy of his book “Irish Family History Resources Online.”

Are there any postings in the last week that you think need to be on this list? Let me know in the comments below.
