Genealogy has come a long way from the early days of the twentieth century to where it is today. Technology has advanced to the point where you can do real research without looking at the scrolls of microfilm straining your eyes. I wonder what the genealogists of the past would say if they were alive today.
One of those new technologies in the toolbelt of today’s genealogists is DNA. The wesbite The Genetic Genealogist is a great place to go if you’re looking for information and articles relating to this subject.
If your interested in looking into DNA further the links below offer DNA testing. 23 and Me is from the United States and Genes Reunited is from the United Kingdom.
If you love both history (especially historiocal war re-enactments) and genealogy then you’ll most likely love the last few posts from the blog Walking the Berkshires . I have been a regular reader of this blog which tends to have one or two posts a month.
The blog post is always fun to read, but I have especially liked the photos from the revolutionary war re-enactments. They portray both the battle scenes as well as camp life. It gives a good picture of what life was like during that time.
I have been a regular reader of The Road Backward blog for quite some time now. The blog focuses on the writers own ancestors and her quest to find them. The posts are very entertaining and informative. Although the writer’s blgo posts focus in on here own family, there is usually some useful tidbit of detective work or resource used which you can aply to your own research.
Stop by and have a look for yourself.
