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

New Genealogy Blog – we will tip our hat to a newcomer who impresses us right out of the box

This week's pick for new blog goes to Google+ for Genealogists by Dan Lynch. Dan Lynch is probably most famous for his book Google Your Family Tree, one the many genealogy books on my bookshelf.  Now Dan brings his expertise to Google+ learning.  Check it out, you can catch up on the posts and learn a little about Google+ each week without being overwhelmed. I learned about Sparks this week.
