The Genealogue<\/a> is one of the genealogy blogs read regularly,\u00a0and I’ve\u00c2\u00a0set up\u00c2\u00a0an\u00c2\u00a0RSS feed to be alerted to new posts .\u00a0 The author, Chris Dunham, warns that the site contains\u00c2\u00a0“Genealogy News You Can’t Possibly Use” .\u00a0 Here are the top ten reasons The Genealogue is better than your morning cup of coffee:<\/p>\n

10 .\u00a0 Chris Dunham is descended from not one, but two Salem witches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9 .\u00a0 When Chris leaves for vacation, he not only notifies his readers that he will be away from the computer, but he provides directions and a detailed map<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0if one needs to find him in an emergency.<\/p>\n

8 .\u00a0 Chris doesn’t pretend to know everything, except of course that which he, himself invents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7 .\u00a0 The Genealogue has\u00c2\u00a0participated in\u00c2\u00a0Censuswhacking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6 .\u00a0 Like Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak’s contest<\/a> to find out what happened to Annie Moore, The Genealogue has launched a\u00c2\u00a0immigration research contest and has offered a fabulous reward for the lucky person who discovers Where’s Arne?<\/a><\/p>\n

5 .\u00a0 Chris Dunham’s profile<\/a> shows that his occupation is “Unprofessional Genealogist” .\u00a0 Of course, that still doesn’t compare with the occupation of Alfred Goold<\/a>, whose occupation is listed in the 1901 British Census as “living on condensed milk”.<\/p>\n

4 .\u00a0 Chris is the proud author of The Genealogist’s Glossary<\/a>, described as “Recommended for every family historian who has ever laughed at the archives or giggled in a cemetery”.<\/p>\n

3 .\u00a0 The Genealogue’s Top Ten Lists<\/a> provide valuable guidance that genealogists\u00c2\u00a0knew they never\u00c2\u00a0needed .\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Cases in point are\u00c2\u00a0the Top Ten Genealogist Pick Up Lines<\/a> and the Top Ten Ways to Make Genealogy More Exciting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2 .\u00a0 The Genealogue Exclusive<\/a> in which Chris interviewed Annie Moore<\/a> is the best piece of genealogical journalism on the net .\u00a0 Chris even managed to scoop The National Enquirer and The Weekly World News on this one!<\/p>\n

1 .\u00a0 Caffeine has been shown to\u00c2\u00a0increase blood pressure .\u00a0 The Genealogue has been shown in unsupervised, uncontrolled, non-clinical studies to lower blood pressure .\u00a0 We all want to make sure you live long enough to finish your genealogy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
