Welcome to GeneaBloggers! I love your list. I didn’t get to SNGF as I was away this weekend, so can I piggy-back on yours? #1: I’m not too bad, as I’m tniryg to limit how many genealogy blogs I subscribe to, but I had over 100 after being unconnected for two days. #3: I’m tniryg to not talk too much about my blog to my family unless they initiate conversation, as I’m afraid of boring them. #8, #9, #10: Yes, yes and yes. #11: Almost laughed out loud at this one. Folding laundry is a great time to listen to at least part of a podcast, and to try to avoid #12, listen to those genealogy podcasts while making dinner.

Genealogists need to be good listeners and ask good questions throughout their lifetime. They also need to be aware that they were born to be the keepers of the information.

I deal primarily with African Ancestored Genealogy. As such, here are two books that I recommend:

Black Roots: A Beginners Guide To Tracing The African American Family Tree; By Tony Burroughs; ISBN13: 9780684847047

Finding a Place Called Home: A Guide to African-American Genealogy and Historical Identity, Revised and Expanded;
By Dee Parmer Woodtor; ISBN-10: 037570843X

Both of these books are excellent for ANY genealogist or family historian. Highly recommended!

Peace,
“Guided by the Ancestors”

Years ago, on Amazon.com & elsewhere, I wrote a review for the classic pre-WW1 German Empire Gazetteer known as Meyers Orts- und Verkehrs-Lexikon Des Deutschen Reichs. It stands as the ONLY review of that huge book. That review & that book have helped many an amateur & professional German Genealogist.
