Are You a Blog Reader Addict?

I really like to read blogs. Some of the blogs I read are serious, some are funny, and some are informational. I try to keep track of new posts, but sometimes that gets a little hard. So...enter Google Reader. It lists all of your favorite blogs together in a list so that you don't have to hunt for them. Try Google Reader! If it scares you, you can cruise on over to DearMyrtle.com and her post on 12 Oct. 2011. It will hold your hand through the Google Reader setup process.

Dear MYRTLE

Dear MYRTLE's class talked about using Ancestry's Family Tree feature to help your research. I have played with it a little, but I never realized how much I was missing! Now I'm ready to dive right in! Dear MYRTLE suggests that we follow four steps in getting started with Ancestry's Family Tree: 1) Create GEDCOM (export) file and privatize living individuals, 2) Upload GEDCOM (follow instructions!), 3) Check for the shaking leaf (quick search). 4) Check on the magnifying glass (deeper search). Play with it a little. Try it out with your family information.

A parting note from Dear MYRTLE...if you find information from Ancestry, don't forget that you have the responsibility to give...share your information!
