Mary-Jane Roth will discuss the basics of Blogging and how it can become another tool for the researcher. Mary-Jane started her blog, Memory Keeper?s Notebook when she was looking for a way to interest the younger members of her family in the people and stories of the generations who she knew growing up. She wanted to share more than just their names and dates, but also to give these cousins some idea of who their ancestors were as people. As she worked, posting photos and stories, she realized that the process of writing the blog was also helping her improve her research, and connecting her with family far and wide. In her presentation, she will briefly review how to start your own blog, She will also reveal how her own family history and yours can be enriched by the process.
