It is summer. I am spending less time by the computer, but have still had time to read some blogs this week<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"I have spent some time writing about causes of death <\/a>found in Norwegian records. Here is a post in Jana Last’s Genealogy and Family History Blog\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0from 2014: 52 Ancestors: #8 ~ Anna Christopherson’s Unexpected Cause of Death\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"On the Firelands History Website,\u00a0Dave Barton\u00a0<\/strong>shares Commencement Speakers \u2013 Best Grades in Literary\u00a0Work<\/a>. These speeches are interesting\u00a0glimpses into how two women in the Norwalk High School Class of 1907\u00a0\u00a0viewed their world.\u00a0Both of them seems as though they would be just as relevant today.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"I came across this website called ThoughCo. <\/strong>It has a lot of information on many different topics.\u00a0Take a look and see if you find something of interest in the\u00a0genealogy section<\/a>. The website’s “about section” claims “At ThoughtCo, we believe that learning is a never-ending process, and that great inspiration begins with a question”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Devon Noel Lee<\/strong> states that “There is an app and web tool that helps us find spots on the the tree that need a little tender loving care<\/em>“. To do this she suggest using “Find-a-record” which is a resource\u00a0that\u00a0searches FamilySearch and it’s source hints to return results of records that exist in the place and time of our ancestors!\u00a0Read her article Momma Is Calling Via Find-A-Record\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"When you do things out-of-order the process often doesn’t go well.\u00a0Jasia<\/strong> claims that such is her case in the blog Creative Gene. <\/strong>Read about her experience in writing family history in the article Ready… Go… Set! My Plan to Write My Family History is Kinda Going Sideways..<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"I realise that my blog is visited by both beginners and experienced genealogists. Here is an article in Amy Johnson Crow’s\u00a0<\/strong>blog where she talks about\u00a03 Effective Ways to Jumpstart Your Genealogy Research<\/a>. By the way; If you are bookmarking blogs that you want to follow to learn about genealogy, Amy Johnson Crow’s blog definitely is one of those that should be on that list.<\/p>\n

\"\"The search for ancestors who immigrated from Norway needs to start in “the new country”. If you are in the US, here are a simple and way to find free, online county property records and other county record sets in the US. The article is written by Alyson Mansfield<\/strong> from the OnGenealogy blog. \u00a0<\/strong>Directory for Free Public Records at County Levels in the US.<\/a><\/p>\n
