You probably have an idea (or two, or three) of what you would like to do with all of the information that you are collecting as you do your genealogy research. You may have plans for a beautiful family tree poster, or a family history book, or something else entirely. There is a genealogy project that you can get started with fairly easily which you can do alongside your other research and projects that can have benefits that extend far beyond putting family history information into a format for sharing it with others.
Blogging is a great way to share information with other people. If you are a genealogist, a genealogy blog can be a great way to share your findings with your family. It can also be a great way to help others with their research and attract help with questions that you encounter in your research.
Also, when you create a genealogy blog, you essentially begin to create a diary. Not only will your family get the factual information about their heritage that you have worked so hard to obtain for them, they will learn the stories that unfold as you go about acquiring that information. Genealogy research is a journey of sorts, and what better way to document your adventures than in your very own genealogy blog.
Since you can get a blog for free and they are easy to set up, why not give it a try. You may be surprised at how keeping a blog can bring new life to your research. Your genealogist’s journey is unlike that of any other researcher. Sharing the details of your journey with your family and others can build knowledge of your family history as well as awareness of and enthusiasm for genealogy. When will you begin documenting your adventures in a genealogy blog?
