About GeneaBloggers
GeneaBloggers energizes the genealogy community by helping family historians turn discoveries into stories others can see, hear, and share. We freely support bloggers, podcasters, videographers, and writers who want to preserve ancestral memories while inspiring others to begin their own research journeys. Stop by to connect, exchange ideas, and discover new ways to share your family history with the world.
About Project Kin
Projectkin, a free community of family historians hooked on stories. Through live events, shared resources, and online conversations we invent and refine creative ways
to capture and preserve our stories. Encouraging the genealogy community of writers to find, preserve and share the stories, Projectkin is on a mission to get these stories told.
These stories matter to families today — and into the future. It’s our responsibility to capture, preserve, and pass down.
This is a golden age for storytelling. Families now have a wealth of resources and media options to help them tell their stories. Even the specialized requirements of family history like document preservation, material archiving, and future-proofing, are easier than ever — if you know about techniques and tools.
