BLOG SPOTLIGHT

I'd like to give a shout out to one of the TOP 40 2011 Family Tree Magazine genealogy blog award winners, Jennifer Thornton Woods, who worked at United States Air Force  as a Russian Linguist no less! Her popular blog (in English) is Climbing My Family Tree located at http://www.climbingmyfamilytree.com . 

Of particular interest is a new feature of the blog where Jen’s daughter Ellie, a budding artist has drawn the first in a series of what Jen calls “Genea-Comic” titled The Court Record Lift. Head on over to climbingmyFamilyTree.com, and scroll through the posts. Better yet, add ClimbingMyFamilyTree to your blog reader, so you won’t miss a post. You’ll be glad you did.

Hope you enjoy the show. Next Friday, October 7, 2011 GeneaBloggers Radio will return with special host Angela Walton-Raji for a live show on ethnic genealogy including guests Linda Geiger and Lisa Lee. Stay tuned!

Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt     :)
