This morning I'm joining Thomas MacEntee's Jamboree panel, "Blogger Summit I - Beginner to Blogger in 60 Minutes," to talk about my first year of genealogy blogging.
As I think about some of the questions Thomas poses in this session, it's clear that geneablogging has helped my family research and best of all linked me to a warm and wonderful community of other geneabloggers.
The biggest unexpected dividend of having a blog is that my Gen X nieces and nephews (the plural is nieblings according to a friend of mine) have gotten more interested in our family history via my blog entries and Facebook posts.
I've put a poll up on the right about geneablogs that will run through Jamboree weekend. Since I'm from Chicago, I invite you to vote early and often.

On Saturday I'm also presenting my session, "Think Like an Archivist: Finding Hidden Genealogical Records in Libraries and Archives." Feel free to post comments or questions below.
Great Seminar! thank you for being an enthusiastic speaker, it allows those of us vegging on the chairs below to actually take in the information. I look forward to attending another seminar from you in the future!

Hi Beth - Thx for the compliments. I'll be doing the Family History Expo in San Mateo in October and probably some other places in between.
