This blog (I’m not sure what else to call it) is actually a collection of the headlines from about two-three dozen blogs and genealogy sites. If you asked me to choose one genealogy news site to look at a day, I would probably pick this one. They recently split their site (which is easy to navigate - there are only a few pages) into several smaller sections, each focusing on one area of genealogy news (blogs, the major sites, genealogy items for sale, genealogy software, etc.).
The Genealogue
Updated: Usually Daily
One of my favorite blogs. They mix a lot more genealogy humor and jokes in with their genealogy news than most sites. A fairly new site (started back around May of this year), but have already built up a substantial story archive. You can almost always find something amusing at this site.
Random Genealogy
Updated: Usually Daily
RG is run by me, the new administrator of Genealogy-Blogs.org. RG is geared towards covering genealogy and genealogy-related issues in the news - newspapers, magazines, mainstream websites, etc., with the occasional review or commentary thrown in. At times, it seems like it should be called CNN - Cemetery News Network.
