As part of the Diploma of Family History course at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) I am again showing my video about using your blog to present your family history. This is in the unit called ‘Introduction to Family History.’ The original version had many clicking sounds whenever I turned my head and spoke, so I have now created version 3. (Version 2 had too many blank spaces)

I was also going to include lots of links to other bloggers but felt the students might think they had to visit and read every post on every blog. So instead I am going to mention the bloggers here in this post.

Visit some other blogs written by students from previous Introduction to Family History units. Some have been blogging for a while, others are very new to this way of presenting their research. Many are also mentioned on my sidebar as links.

• Alex Daw – Family Tree Frog
• Carmel Galvin – Library Currants
• Isabel Flynn – Family Tapestry
• Janelle Collins – Janelle’s family tree
• Joanne Keevers – The Family of Jo Mottershead
• Kerryn Taylor – Ancestor Chaser
