Family History Research Log

Family historians - genealogists, if you will, have three roles that occupy our time:
o We look for other people's research.  (This is how the world sees us, poring over computer screens to find someone else's tree, notes, or photos.  Searching through obituaries would fall into this category.  So would scanning census records.
o We create our own research.  This could be anything from a photo of your family in front of the old family homestead to interviewing grandma, or writing your own biograpy.
o Sharing.  Too often, genealogists don't develop their sharing, and when they pass, all of their work may be lost.

I wrote about this for Family Chronicle Magazine.  If I can figure out how to upload the article, I will do so.

So I am going to preserve my research by creating a blog.  If I do this right, it will last for a long time, and will be of use to distant relatives and descendants.
