It’s Friday again, which brings us to another edition of Follow Friday! Today I’m highlighting Jenny Lanctot’s blog, Are My Roots Showing? Now, I have to admit the original reason I chose to look at Jenny’s blog was because of the blog’s title. It’s a cute title and I giggled as I pictured a woman looking over her shoulder in a mirror behind her, asking her husband if her roots were showing. And my reasoning for looking at her blog is a good lesson in marketing. Give your items an interesting title and it will bring people in.Jenny’s posts are informative and, at times, humorous. I found her post on FGS 2013 – Helpful Hints for Conferences to be very helpful. I’ve not attended a large genealogy conference yet but I hope to in the future and I think her tips will be very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed her post Does This Count as an Ephiphany? Not only did it provide some interesting insight into what could have happened when ancestors disappear during a census year but it also gave a good tip to about checking the pages before and after your ancestor’s census listing to see if there are any other possible family members.
I recommend taking a few minutes and checking out Are My Roots Showing? It’ll be well worth your time.
Wow … thanks, Danni! I hope you've enjoyed reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it; and now I have a chance to enjoy yours too!
