I’d like to informally poll, you, the readers of Upfront with NGS, about what type of
blog posts interest you the most.
Meaning – these are the posts that you are more likely to read. You have a choice of many many blogs to read
to get your information from.
We recognize that no one blog can possibly give you all the family history news that is relevant -- after all, our community is quite diverse and there is a lot of news that could have relevance. With that in mind, what types of posts keep you coming back to Upfront with NGS ?
Please post a comment to the blog post, or comment on FB or Google+, or send an e-mail to [email protected]
with your responses. Times change,
people’s needs/interests change, and it’s always good to get a sense of what’s
important to the community.
Here is a list
of some types of blog posts, besides those related to NGS news, in no
particular order. Do NOT feel limited by this list (I know it’s not
comprehensive). You can always share
ideas for other topics of interest.
+ Upfront with NGS Mini Bytes

and Preservation News (e.g. RPAC, Vital records access, etc)

many more topics.
