Ruth’s Recommendations

Here are my favourite blog posts from this past week.

Paula’s Genealogical Eclectica has a post called “Copyright applies to genealogy, too.” This is something we all have to think about every day.

Kerry Scott of the Clue Wagon blog is always entertaining and thought provoking. She started off the new year with a post entitled “In Which I Assign You A New Year’s Resolution.” The message is one everyone has to hear.

Randy Seaver has a press release from GenSoftReviews.com in his post called “GenSoftReviews Announces the Top Genealogy Software Awards for 2012.” If you are looking for a new genealogy program this is something to read.

Dick Eastman’s blog had a post called “Irish Newspapers Will Now Be Ignored” which looks at the new policy of the National Newspapers of Ireland to charge for sharing links from their newspapers. Further reports from the Irish Times suggest they will not charge people for sharing links to their online articles.

Michael Seery of the Enniskerry Local History blog has a post called “10 Irish History Blogs for 2013.” This is a great list of blogs or other sites to follow if you have an interest in Irish history. I already follow several of these blogs and will now be following some new ones.
