The Genealogy & Family History Social Network

Blogging is a great research tool.

We are so lucky to have the ability to blog and enhance our research by blogging. It never ceases to amaze me when some one new blogs and about 6 to 8 weeks later say,"I found a relative via the new blog."

Thomas M. really said it all two years ago at the Burbank Conference about why to blog and what the advantages were.

1. The search engine technique of today is different than ten years ago or less. The webcrawlers need a larger query to locate your comments and to send back data.

2. Blogs are readable by all forms of computers.

3. Blogs can let you outline your family better to share with others without infringing upon someone else space for a query. Many societies had shortened their query lengths and I think at times it hurt them.

4. You can accurately use the five W for research as a newspaper person would.

5. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY and I like to add HOW.
