Writing a Blog
« on: Saturday 19 August 17 15:38 BST (UK) »
I have decided to start writing a family history blog to record my own family tree, to promote interest in our hobby, and to hopefully find people with similar interests to my own. I have shared the links below. Any comments and feed back are most welcome, both positive and negative. Please feel free to comment on the blog itself as well.


I have also started writing a blog for Family History Magazine, see link below

Hi Chiddicks

Apologies - I haven't checked all your blogs, but you may wish to edit your first hyperlink to the YFT blog as the link is broken and you receive an error message when you click on it!

Absolutely not, I am certainly not the most computer savvy person and part of the reason I am putting stuff online and out there is for comment, so no problem at all

New blog added with a slightly different layout, incorporating pictures within the Text and story, which I think looks better.
