New Genealogy Blog – we will tip our hat to a newcomer who impresses us right out of the box
This week’s mention:
Caroline Pointer is going to help us make the most of our genealogy blogs in her new blog, Blogging Genealogy. Check out her plans for this well thought out blog.
Books that Move and Matter - each week we will feature an ebook or print book with the family historian in mind. It may come as a great source of information, for research or writing or playing to our historical interests, or may just be a great read I think genealogists will love.
This week The Catholic Gene blog hosted a Book Review: The Red Skirt, Memoirs of an Ex-Nun. Author Patricia O'Donnell-Gibson was once a member of the sisterhood of the Dominican Order and trained at the motherhouse in Adrian, Michigan. I have downloaded it on to my Kindle and look forward to reading it. Be sure to check it out.
