Thanks for nominating GenealogyBlog for Family Tree Magazine‘s 40 Best GenealogyBlogs. It’s now time to vote – and there are some great blogs in the running! The voting is done by category with the following categories being listed (in the same order I have them listed below). All you’ll have to do is click on a check box to pick your favorites.
GenealogyBlog is found under the News/Resources category.
When you click over to the ballot, you’ll have the following categories to choose from:
All-around Choose 3
These bloggers give you a little (or a lot) of everything: news, research advice, their own family stories, photos, opinions and more. There’s no one quite like the Genealogue, so we thought about that blog for awhile. It landed in this category because the Genealogue posts a satirical take on genealogy news, holds occasional research challenges and blogs about his own family history every so often.
Cemetery Choose 2
These blogs focus on cemetery research, gravestone photos and the like.
Genealogy Companies Choose 1
Blogs in this category are written on behalf of a genealogy company, and contain helpful (but not overly advertising-oriented) information on the company’s products, as well as other resources.
Genetic Genealogy Choose 1
Blogs that are primarily about genetic genealogy and family health history.
Heritage Choose 4
Here, blog content focuses on a particular heritage group, such as African-American, Jewish or Irish. We had some tough decisions in this category, as some family-related genealogy blogs by nature also examine that family’s ethnic heritage.
How-to Choose 3
These blogs have instructional content on genealogical resources and methodology. In some cases, bloggers wrote about their own research and ancestors, but framed posts in an instructional manner.
Local/Regional Choose 3
Most posts in these blogs cover resources, genealogy events and history for a city, town, state or region.
News/Resources Choose 4
Blogs in this category deliver a range of genealogy news and information about new resources. GenealogyBlog is found here!
Photos/Heirlooms Choose 2
Content on these blogs is primarily about sharing, researching and preserving family photos and/or heirlooms.
Personal/Family Choose 12
These blogs primarily cover the blogger’s (or, in a case or two or more, bloggers’) own research and ancestors. Family historians write what they 
know and what’s important to them, so this is our biggest category.
The top 80 vote-getting blogs will make it through to a “final” round, and the Family Tree Magazine editorial staff will select 40 blogs from that list.
