Introduction:<\/em><\/strong> In this article, Mary Harrell-Sesniak gives some tips for finding and sharing genealogy articles from the GenealogyBank Blog. Mary is a genealogist, author, and editor with a strong technology background who has written and collected some of the funniest, quirkiest, or most touching sayings about genealogy that she\u2019s encountered in her career as a family historian. Please attribute this article if sharing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every time I read a newly posted comment on an article I wrote for the GenealogyBank Blog<\/a> years ago, I\u2019m reminded how important our blog is to researchers \u2013 and how relevant and useful many of those older articles still are today.<\/p>\n

\"Photo:<\/a><\/p>\n

So, when asked to write my annual end-of-the-year piece, I thought: maybe it\u2019s time to remind our readers of some overlooked features of the GenealogyBank Blog that assist in finding and sharing our articles. After all, every genealogist\u2019s New Year\u2019s goal is, in some form or other, learning how to find and save information better!<\/p>\n

The GenealogyBank Blog\u2019s Website and Search Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of you find our genealogy articles on social media, but you can go directly to our blog website<\/a> and use its search engine \u2013 a technique handy for searching specific topics or looking for a previously published blarticle (blog article).<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

To find articles, look for the search box at the right. Enter a target topic and click the magnifying glass icon to proceed.<\/p>\n

You can combine the query with a specific blogger by adding a complete or partial name. For example, there are several of my earlier blog articles on the Civil War with timeless tips.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/em><\/strong> Try searching using a writer\u2019s partial name. In my case, you could use Harrell or Sesniak instead of Harrell-Sesniak. This search was done using \u201cSesniak Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharing Articles to Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, what can you do to share an article from the GenealogyBank Blog?<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve opened one for reading, such as my recent article \u201cChristmas Humor of the 19th Century,\u201d click the \u201cshare\u201d option on the right. You\u2019ll be prompted to log into Facebook to share that article with friends.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharing from Facebook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, if you are on Facebook, you probably know about the GenealogyBank Facebook page<\/a> where all of our blog articles are shared to our feed. If not, be sure to search and follow us.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

But how many of our readers have explored all of the Facebook sharing options? You can share among your friends, to a news feed, share as a text in Messenger, to a group, to a specific page, or even to a friend\u2019s profile (which they will probably have to approve before it appears).\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the link provided after the \u201cRead the story on the GenealogyBank blog\u201d notice on the Facebook page. That link takes you directly to the full article on our GenealogyBank Blog.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope this article has opened up your world of sharing possibilities. Part II, tomorrow, will discuss how to share on other platforms, such as Twitter or Pinterest.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that our blog articles are as timeless as the ever popular GenealogyBank subscription \u2013 and if you haven\u2019t already picked up a copy, please consider my book Where There\u2019s a Will, There\u2019s Always a Genealogist<\/em>, my genealogy humor book available at Lulu.com<\/a>, Amazon<\/a> and other online retailers.<\/p>\n
