At the Armchair Genealogist this week, posts included the following: 



Each week I’m choosing four blogs that deserve a shout out, they will be in the form of 4 categories, Internet Genealogy, Family History Writing, a New Blog and a blog that posted a great old-fashioned family recipe. OK some weeks I choose more than 4 just because it to hard to pick just one, and it's my blog so I can change the rules. 

Internet Genealogy – a great genealogy or internet tip that will benefit any armchair genealogist
This week’s mention:


A Patient Genealogist shares a  website she finds very useful,  in her blog about the  Family History Archives . The Family History Archives is a collection of published genealogy and family history books. It is part of the Family Search website, and definitely a worthwhile online resource.


Writing Your Family History – great advice or information on writing your family history
This week’s mention:

Stories to Tell again this week offered a thought provoking and timely post entitled A Father's Day Challenge: Preserve Your Family HistoryThis website offers family history book publishing services, you can also find some helpful articles to guide you through the process.

This week I have taken a shine to Nuts From the Tree. The author is  taking over as the family historian and learning the ropes from her Mom.  Love the approach of this new blog.
