Genealogy Tip of the Day posts a bite size genealogy tip every day! Posts generally take a minute or less to read and can be about anything from potentially new research paths, reminders to get the most from particular types of records, or provide suggestions on different ways of thinking about your genealogical challenges.
I've noticed some posts are occasionally "recycled", but I don't find this to be an issue. Not every idea is pertinent at the time we first read it. Some tips don't resonate until we're at a different part of our research journey. While the daily tips are totally free, for those who are interested, there's a Genealogy Tip of the Day book for sale if you prefer a different format (though you may miss new suggestions as they're posted if you aren't also following the free daily tips).
Genealogical research can take a lot of time. Following all the latest blog posts could take hours a day. Perhaps, like me, you have no extra time to jump on the genealogical podcast bandwagon, preferring good old fashioned words on a page instead. Lots of blogs aggregate some of the best posts they discover each week, but few (in fact none of the 80+ blogs I follow) include Genealogy Tip of the Day. Just because these tips are boiled down to the essential ingredients for quick reading doesn't make them any less valuable.
