Greetings Genimates.
This week has been an important week in Australian history as we celebrated last Saturday, 25th April, the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli, Turkey early n World War 1. Australian geneabloggers commemorate thier family members and other brave ANZACS in a swag of blog posts about our fighting men. I cannot single out any post as outstanding, they were all magnificent tributes.
I must mention four Australian geneabloggers who have distinguished themselves in the April A-Z blogging challenge. Congratulations Helen Connor, Jennifer Jones, Judy Lofthouse and Anne Young for completing the challenge.
This mroning a post from Susan Petersen, one of my genimates in the US, appeared in my feed. This is one of the best posts I have read in a long time and is at the top of my must read posts this week.

Thanks for the mention Jill and for the introduction to some other A to Z ing Geneabloggers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill for the mention - your links for 1 and 2 are not quite right - I'm one of the ones needing help to tame Twitter!
ReplyDeleteSusan Petersen's piece on societies is worth societies considering their positions and adapting to the changes in how people want to communicate.
ReplyDeleteI second Shauna's request - I would really like to read the post on taming twitter but the link is not correct
ReplyDeleteShauna and Anne - thanks for being observant. I have amended the links. the twitter article is at http://stephenslighthouse.com/2015/04/28/80-twitter-tools-for-almost-everything/
