Follow Friday - New Hampshire Genealogy Blogs

When I started blogging, I was inspired by Jan Brown’s “Cow Hampshire” blog.  She was the only genealogy blogger in the Granite State.  Now there are many local genealogy bloggers, and you might want to check up on what they are writing.  They offer great advice on researching in New Hampshire and New England.  You also might make a “cousin connection” when you check out the surnames they are related to in their stories.  It’s easy to make a comment or email these bloggers, so you can ask questions, compare family trees and perhaps meet a new cousin.

  2. Heather! Thank you for the lovely compliment! And yes it is about time more of the New Hampshire genealogists starting blogging. You are such a mover and shaker! (pun intended. Do you have any Shakers in your ancestry?)

    A very good article. I have added some of these new bloggers to my "must read" list.

    1. Lots of Quakers in our family tree, but no Shakers that I know of (yet!)
