Find More Ancestors with your own Genealogy Blog
How does having a blog help find more ancestors?
I blog about my Hendrickson and Dimmit families. Thanks to my blog (and the ease that people can find me on the Internet), other researchers have contacted me with astonishing family information.
Just a few of the pieces of genealogy information I’ve received, thanks to those contacts:
- burial place of my ggg-grandparents
- burial location of my gg-grandfather’s sister
- 25 years of Dimmitt family research
- information on how to access an old family cemetery, now located on a private farm
- information on a family line from Switzerland who came to America in the early 1700s
- images of an ancestral castle in Scotland
- assistance in locating what I thought was long lost land records
all of this because other researchers found my blogs.
For me, THE gem of Internet genealogy is networking with other family tree researchers. That’s why I’m so keen on maintaining a genealogy blog. Now, I’m helping other genealogists build their own family tree blogs.
