While many spotlighted new blogs focus on individual family history, there are quite a few in other categories and even some unique ones.
Here are a few that we found most interesting, along with the links to the past few editions for more information on many others.

Heraldry: Musings on an Esoteric Topic
Genealogy education
Genealogy education
I’m an Academic Herald. I’m not a “real” herald; I don’t design and register people’s coats of arms (though I can certainly suggest designs for those who might be interested). What I do is study, research, teach, and write about heraldry. (You can find some of my books about heraldry and a list of my articles and presentations about heraldry at “Our Website” below.) And I like to share what I have learned about heraldry, hence this blog. I hope that you’ll find it informative, interesting at least occasionally, and worth your time to come back. Got a question? Comments? Feel free to ask or let me know.

Forgotten Faces and Long Ago Places
Photography blog
Photography blog
As an offshoot of two other blogs Rogers Family History and Teresa’s Tangled Roots, the author has stumbled into a collection of vintage photographs. "It has always disturbed me how many thousands and thousands of 'ancestor' photos are out there in antique stores and on eBay that no one knows who they belong to. As a genealogist who would give anything to have pictures of her ancestors, it just kills me to see these orphan pictures unclaimed my anyone. These are someone’s family, their ancestors and I wonder sometimes as I look at them if one of them could possibly be one of my ancestors. As a collector of anything and everything, I have started buying up some of these photos and felt I needed to start sharing these somehow. Most have no names – why didn’t people put names on the back of these pictures?!? I will try to post many of the many photos I have, perhaps someone will recognize one or two. If you do, please let me know, I would be happy to reunite these photographs (people) with their descendants if contacted."

Genealogy vendor, Writing Your Family History
Genealogy vendor, Writing Your Family History
Family stories form an important part of a person’s identity – stories about love, friendship, childhood dreams, hardships, triumphs, and the ongoing journey that is life. Too often these stories remain unshared and are forgotten before they can be recorded. Do you wish there were a better way to share meaningful stories with your family?
We at StoryTree feel the same way and this is what has driven us to come up with a solution to this problem. The StoryTree team is dedicated to help you preserve your precious family memories and share them with the ones you love. As time passes, your captured stories come to represent a bond across generations and become invaluable to your family’s collective identity. Your family history has finally found a place to reside.Storytree was launched out of the Stanford d.school where we discovered a deep unmet need using the design thinking process. We hope that through StoryTree we can achieve our goals to make a positive difference in the world through good design.
