You see genealogy coming up everywhere these days in the national media and in popular culture. It was particularly good to see this recent story from CNN about researching family history.<\/p>\n

This helpful article, written by Sarah Engler of RealSimple.com, includes family research guidance and tips from Corey Oiesen, communications officer of the Association of Professional Genealogists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I particularly like this quote from Corey: \u201c\u2018People think they can just plug in their grandfather\u2019s name and go,\u2019 says Oiesen. \u2018But it will save you a ton of time if you gather a few identifying details before you get online.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Good genealogy research advice.<\/p>\n

This recent article caught my eye when it gave a shout-out to GenealogyBank<\/a> as one of the online sources that have \u201cmade it easier than ever to trace your roots.\u201d In fact both the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> and CNN recently cited GenealogyBank as an online resource you can rely on.<\/p>\n

Both of these articles underscored how easy it is to do genealogy with today\u2019s online tools. The WSJ cites the work of Megan Smolenyak and her group \u201cUnclaimed People<\/a>\u201d that assist agencies in finding families of the unclaimed in coroner offices. GenealogyBank is proud to be cited in these two articles.<\/p>\n

Hats off to both the Wall Street Journal<\/em> and CNN for keeping the general public informed and current on the latest genealogy resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
