From Randy (my cousin) over at Genea-Musings:
it's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) This week the challenge is to pick one recent genealogy-related blog post by a genealogist and/or family historian.
[For ideas, see recent Best of the Genea-Blogs, or recent Empty Branches on the Family Tree, or recent Genealogy a la Carte .]
2) Tell us the geneablogger's name, the blog's title, the link to the blog post, and why you selected that post.
3) Share your favorite genealogy blog post as a comment on this post, on social media or in your own blog post! Please leave a comment with a link on this post so others can check it out.
Here's mine:
I found my favorite recent genealogy-related blog post on Linda Stufflebean's Empty Branches on the Family Tree blog. It is titled Uncle Don, WWII Veteran by Joy on Joy Neal Kidney from November 7th.
While I had never read Joy's blog before, I found that I enjoy her writing. This blog post was very down-to-earth and a great tribute to a veteran in her family. With having the free access this week to military records due to Veterans Day, I have been neck deep in reading the stories about the veterans and/or their units. It has been fascinating and educational.
I also enjoyed reading another blog very similar to mine in writing about and celebrating her family. We all have our niche, but I don't see many blogs like mine that concentrate mostly on family stories. Learning how to is great and necessary, but taking the time to write our own family stories is essential in my opinion.
