Keeping up to date with FamilySearch

Over the past year or so, FamilySearch has gone from sporadically publishing a few blog posts to almost constant publications. The latest offerings are both instructive and inspiring. In addition, I see a definitive shift to an emphasis on basic family history and genealogy principles and practices. If you have not subscribed to all of the articles, you should do so by registering with FamilySearch or using a reader program to follow all of the sections of the blog.

Here is a list of some of the current offerings published in just the last few days:
