Follow Friday – September 21, 2012
This week for Follow Friday I thought I’d do something a bit different. Rather than post blogs I think you should check out, I thought FaceBook pages and groups would be a nice change of pace. Here are some FaceBook pages and groups that may help you with yourresearch.
GROUPS
Genealogy Bloggers – This is a closed group but you can ask to be admitted. In this group, bloggers talk about their research issues, brick walls, websites they’ve found useful and their own blog posts.
International Society of Family History Writers and Editors – ISFHWE is a group that supports and promotes genealogical writers and editors. For full benefits, check out their membership information on their website.
PAGES
The In-Depth Genealogist – The FaceBook presence of The In-Depth Genealogist which offers many resources for the family historian.
Check out the various FamilySearch sponsored pages on FaceBook that deal with specific states. Here are a couple. Just search for the specific state you need assistance with under Pages to locate others.
- California Genealogy Research
- Illinois Genealogy Research
- Kentucky Genealogy Research
- Montana Genealogy Research
- Oregon Genealogy Research

Genealogy Gems Podcast – Branching Out
Have you heard Lisa Louise Cooke’s Genealogy Gems podcast? If not, take a listen to “Going Back to Family History School” episode. At about minute 34, she interviews Jennifer Holik, Sort Your Story Blogger, about her Branching Out series of curriculum books for kids, adults, and genealogy societies. The interview is about 10 minutes long.
Have you purchased and used Jennifer’s books? What do you think of them?

A Day to Remember, September 11, 2001
Today is the anniversary of September 11, 2001. Where were you that day? What were you doing? How did you feel about the events that transpired? What stories from that day and the people who were affected do you tell? Are they written in Sort Your Story or your genealogy database?
Please share with us your thoughts about 9/11.
