Gene Pennington noticed a reference to my new blog in the NGS Newsmagazine and suggested that I post a message to this list with more information. About once a week I make a new posting to "The Internet Guy" blog on Roots Television www.rootstelevision.com <http://www.rootstelevision.com/> . I cover online genealogy and topics covered so far include military records, Canadian vital records indexes, obituaries and gravestone transcriptions. You can sign up to get new postings by e-mail so you don't have to keep checking back on the site. My Web site, www.onelibrary.com <http://www.onelibrary.com/> , has reports on my family history, including the Pennington family. The site also has guides to online research, including a list of free databases and a guide to using library catalogs. There's also information on my book, "Plugging Into Your Past: How to Find Real Family History Records Online" (Family Tree Books, $19.99). I also write for several genealogy magazines available by subscription and on newsstands: Family Tree Magazine www.familytreemagazine.com <http://www.familytreemagazine.com/> I have three articles in the February 2007 issue. Topics covered include the One-Step Web Pages http://stevemorse.org <http://stevemorse.org/> , Family Tree Maker 16 and guidelines for sharing electronic files. Family Chronicle www.familychronicle.com <http://www.familychronicle.com/> The February issue has my article on surname origins. Internet Genealogy www.internet-genealogy.com <http://www.internet-genealogy.com/> My case study on researching Irish Famine emigrants will probably appear in the June/July issue. My case study on researching the Loyalist William Pennington of England and North Carolina appeared in the May 2006 issue. So, I've been busy writing. I hope you find my book and articles useful as you research your Pennington family history online. I also do some public speaking and will be giving presentations at these events: The BYU Computerized Genealogy Conference, Provo, UT, March 16-17, http://ce.byu.edu/cw/cwcompu/ My topics are: - A Beginner's Guide to Online Genealogy - From the Revolutionary War to Vietnam: Military Records Online - British Intelligence: Smart Strategies for Tracking Down English, Scottish and Welsh Ancestors - On, Canada Online!
