How to Present Your Family History on a Blog

Slices of family history, or perhaps I should say chapters of family history, can be easy to write, display and
distribute on a blog website.

Before I go any further, take a look at this very interesting blog titled, “A Family History in Seven Photos” by CLICKING HERE.

Do you see what author Kurt Ernst has done? He took seven related historic photos and wrote brief paragraphs about each photo yielding a very interesting trip through time and an explanation of who is in each photo, when the photo was probably taken, and what it contributed to the story of his family.


Ernst used a blog page on a unique blog site about automobiles for which he is a contributor, but it is easy to create a unique blog for your family. If you go to Blogger.com, WordPress.com or any of several free blogging sites, you can create your own family history blog FREE! 

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a geek to create the blog site and add information and photos of your family. Use your family name in the URL. If I were to do this, it would be www.blog.RonRossFamily.com. (Don’t bother to click on it as it does not exist). 

However, if you want to see my family website, visit www.RonaldDRoss.com.
