This Friday, I want to share a new and promising blog to the genealogical community. It was created by my friend Nuccia, and it's purpose and goal is to be focused on Italian research and resources. She already has some interesting blog posts and some neat books in the "Books" section. If you have Italian ancestry, you should check it out. It can be found here: http://gentedimareitaliangenealogy.info/

This Friday, I want to highlight a new and promising blog. It's called Growing Up In An Italian Family by my friend Nuccia. In her blog she'll talk about growing up in a typical Italian family and compare it to how it's influenced her life today.. including some of her genealogy along the way! She so far has written six entries in the past week and although I don't have Italian ancestry, she has definitely roused my interest. She has already written about her parents, the bedrock of her family, and also included a conversation with her parents from a few years ago.. which is hilarious to say the least. She definitely has me aching for an Italian grandmother, just to be a part of the Italian wit and entertainment myself!

I'm looking forward to reading more and more, Nuccia!

I've been following an interesting blog for about a month or two now. It's called Royal Musings, and it's devoted to news and/or commentary about the reigning houses of Europe, as well as the former monarchies. The most interesting items she posts are the old family portraits of the royals, and old newspaper clippings with gossip and news on the then royals in the public eye. If you're as fascinated with royalty and nobility as I am, give it a read. It's definitely a plus knowing I'm related to these royals too!
