Posted by Liv | Filed under Follow Friday
Today is Follow Friday at geneabloggers.com where we have an opportunity to recommend other genealogy bloggers, call attention to a specific genealogy blog posts, websites, and resources. So today I want to call special attention to a couple of terrific genealogy bloggers and a program that has been the motivation behind my family research this week and month; enjoy!
- When I entered the world of genealogy blogging this year, the first genea-blogger to greet me, advise me, encourage me, and support me was — Dee Burris at Shakin’ the Family Tree! Dee’s blog is FABULOUS and what I enjoy most about her site, is her attention to details in her research. Her thoughts about her genealogy journey and family connections – the good, the bad, and the downright complicated – are refreshing to read and respond to. So be sure to check her out!

Daisy (Newsome) Routt married my 2nd Great Grand Uncle Jefferson Routt on 27 January 1917, and lived with him in Chappell Hill, Washington County, Texas. Even though there were no children born of this union, her children from a previous marriage were listed as his in the 1920 US Federal Census.
