The Blogs are multi-purpose and can be used for any subject that is judged of interest to members. In relation to specific family history enquiries the Family History/Genealogy Blog replaces the old Forums. The latter have been archived and can be accessed if requested.
Blogs are distinguished from the Journal which is for longer, well researched articles usually, but not exclusively, of a historical or genealogical nature.
This page lists all blogs in date order. The links to the left allow you to see the blogs categorised by subject matter. To add Comments click on the Category and then on the title to the blog you wish to contribute to.
