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.

Anyone researching online has at one time or another looked at research on a shared family tree. I think Chris Witten did a great job this week in addressing some concerns in his post Can You Trust a Private Company offering a Shared Family Tree? on Kerry Scott's blog, Clue Wagon. Don't forget to read the comments.
Kerry also shares a great post on how she overcame a very 'large' problem in her post What to Do WIth a 547-page Probate File. Quick thinking Kerry, the results look great.
Writing Family History - great advice or information on writing your family history.

Attics and Old Lace caught my attention this week, besides the great title, Liz is using this blog to work through her boxes of treasures that remain delinquent and unscanned. Her blog will document her journey through her treasure boxes.
