Twitter - Microblogging Swedish Genealogy

Over on Twitter, in recent days I've been 'microblogging' Swedish genealogy vocabulary from A to Ö.

This was for the #GenealogyAlphabetGame hosted by The Simple Living Genealogist  @SimpleLivinGene . 

Do follow her on Twitter. If not on Twitter (why not?), check out her blog here: https://www.thesimplelivinggenealogist.com 

I thought of doing this because right now I've been spending time researching a small family postcard collection, most Swedish or involving Swedish family. 

Af  kärlek /  English - Of  Love. 

Embossed postcard mailed from Ostersund, Jamtlands Lan, Sweden in 1910.

This has prompted me to think about doing another A to Ö project. Next time, it will be about Swedish genealogy and history, and family, with maybe a recipe or two? that I hope will interest my 'kids'. 

I see it's almost my 16th Blogaversary- 3 February.  Still a teenager! Something to celebrate! 

And good to see "CanadaGenealogy, or, Jane's Your Aunt" made the Top 100 Genealogy Blogs and Websites in 2021 as calculated by Feedspot. 

There are 138 blogs on that list so search there and take time to read one new to you.  Be nice to see more Canadian genealogy bloggers in that list for next year. 

Penny at the UK to Canada Genealogy blog has the names of all the Canadian bloggers on Feedspot's list. And she's compiling a new list of Canadian genealogy bloggers. 

Get Ready to Watch Rootstech 2014 From Home!

Over at the British Columbia Genealogical Society website: www.bcgs.ca I've posted the Rootstech 2014 streaming session schedule and information links as we did for last years' conference. You will be able to watch fifteen streamed sessions for free at home starting tomorrow; Wednesday, February 6th, 2014. Handouts for all sessions can be downloaded free now. You'll only miss out on the beautiful snow here in Salt Lake City, Utah.

There will be lots of news on Facebook about Rootstech too. Look for Rootstech 2014 posts and the hashtag #Rootstech there as on on Twitter - and follow the Twitter messages on the BCGS website. You do not need to be signed up to Twitter to see these, just follow this BCGS link above to read what people are saying from and about Rootstech. Many of us will be tweeting live from conference sessions so you will get a real sense of what's going on even in sessions that aren't being streamed. If you are on Facebook and / or Twitter, ask questions and comment as you watch at home. 

And if you want to know more about using Twitter, after you've seen how it works for Rootstech, then come to one of our BCGS Twitter for Genealogy sessions this month. Also free! Just see the Twitter class registration info on the BCGS website.
