My criteria for The Best of the Blogs is this: I look for blogs that highlight genealogy methodology, new records, social and historical context, current events, and educational and volunteer opportunities. I try especially to focus on blogs that document the Irish and the Irish diaspora and may be of interest to TIARA members. Compiled by Kathleen Sullivan
If you were at the TIARA meeting last Friday evening, you may enjoy this latest column from Thomas Lester, archivist for the Archdiocese of Boston: click here
