I love the dedicated family historians who listen to The Genealogy Gems Podcast, watch my videos, and read our blog. They are the true Gems in the treasure chest that is genealogy, and provide daily inspiration.
And I couldn’t be more proud of the ones who have taken the plunge and started their own family history blog. Blogging is a brilliant way to attract and connect with others, from close relatives to distant yet-unknown cousins, and write your narrative – a powerful genealogical tool!

The London Metropolitan Archives says that half the inquiries they receive are from family historians. This is likely due to their rich resources (click here to peruse the collections)
Because there is such a strong genealogy interest in the LMA, they are making a huge effort to reach out to genealogists. They’re all about educating us and sharing what’s at LMA through their website, hands-on classes, remote research services and partnerships with data sites like Ancestry.co.uk and FindMyPast.co.uk. All this from a city archive!
Check out this video they’ve made for family history researchers:
Doesn’t that video make you want to check out the LMA for yourself? On their website, click on Family History. Read up on the basics, then click on Information Leaflet No.1 for a detailed description of their holdings. If you can’t visit, you can use their Family History Research Service. But it looks like a pretty tempting research destination!
