Here are just a few of the many genealogy blogs that have energed in the past few years. Some are family specific and others cover genealogy in general. In this blog focus mostly on the Ives family and related families but I will cover general genealogy issues on occasion as I do in this post. I will be researching and writing about more genealogy blogs. I will also continue to add to the list in the side bar of this blog. You suggestions and favorites are welcomed.
