Family Tree Magazine announced this past Monday that the
nomination process for this year's "40 Best Genealogy Blogs"
has begun. We have until November 30th, 2010 to submit
the names of our favorite geneablogs as nominees in one
of the following eight categories:
"Local/regional history and genealogy: blogs focusing
on research in a specific county, state or region. Most
library and archive blogs, as well as many local historical
and genealogical society blogs, would go here.
Heritage groups: Blogs focusing on the family history of
a specific ethnic, religious or national background (such
as African-American, Jewish, Polish, etc.)
Research advice and how-to: Blogs that primarily
explain how to research, analyze photos or perform
various family history tasks. The blogger offers tips,
strategies and examples; explains genealogical concepts;
and writes about how to use new resources.
Cemeteries: These blogs feature content primarily
about cemetery research and visiting cemeteries.
Many feature tombstone photos and transcriptions,
with information about those interred.
“My Family History”: Blogs about the blogger’s
own roots, including accounts of personal research,
their own family photos and heirlooms, stories,
recipes, etc.
“Everything” blogs: Blogs that cover it all—genealogy
news, research advice, opinions, local history, family
stories, etc.—go here.
New blogs: Was the blog you’re nominating launched
during the past year? Categorize it here, even if it would
also fit into another category.
Technology: Blogs focusing on genealogy websites,
software, DNA testing or other aspects of technology
as it relates to genealogy."
