Why on earth is this flagged?  (Update:  Flags are gone now.)

The flags are probably a mistake. I know I've done it a few times when trying to comment.

I also like Research Like a Pro. They are a mother-daughter act and also do a podcast.

Answer 4

Genealogy à la carte by Gail Dever, based out of Montreal. Each week she publishes a list called "Creme de la creme" - a collection of links to various genealogy-related blogs and articles. Very interesting and useful!

One of my favorites isn't really a blog but an 'old fashioned' forum https://www.italiangenealogy.com/forum

Excellent people there willing to help all of us non-native reader/speakers out!

Answer 9

I didn't know blogs existed for genealogy. Thanks for the lists.

Answer 10

I am new to using wikitree and really still learning the ropes, the most helpful site so far is Evidence Explained. It does my head in sometimes, but I think the way I do sources has vastly improved.

Answer 11

I find the French Genealogy Blog and the Maple Stars and Stripes podcast useful for French and French Canadian research, respectively.

Answer 12

I wanted to add a couple that aren't listed here yet.

www.theancestorhunt.com - So many great links to newspapers from all over the U.S.

vitabrevis.americanancestors.org - A lovely combination of resources and great stories about ancestors from more than just New England that is always interesting.

emptybranchesonthefamilytree.com - I always enjoy reading about L. Stufflebeam's family and her methodology.

afamilytapestry.blogspot.com - I continue to be inspired by J. Stevens' example of researching the context for her ancestors.
