Here is a list of blogs I have enjoyed this past year. I tried to list ones that are not genealogy websites, but
still of interest to genealogists or historians.
http://boatbuildingwithburnham.blogspot.com/ Harold Burnham, wooden ship builder in
Essex, Massachusetts. If you have ancestry from Essex, someone in your family tree probably built ships!
http://boston1775.blogspot.com/ J. L. Bell, author and historian, writes about Boston on the eve of the American Revolutionary War.
http://www.earlyamericancrime.com/ Anthony Vaver, author and blogger writes about crime and punishment in Colonial and Early America.
http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/ Melinda Bowers, this one is just for fun!
http://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/ Peter M, writes about the weird and interesting folklore from New England.
A blog from the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester,
Massachusetts http://pastispresent.org/ Very interesting stories based on "stuff" from their collections. This is the archive where I first discovered genealogy research when I was a teenager, because it was within bike riding distance from my house!
http://rockynook.blogspot.com/ Every summer there is an archeological dig
at the homestead of the Howland family (of the Mayflower) in Duxbury,
Massachusetts. Follow the dig, or read
past posts about what they have discovered.
http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/ each post is a full biography of a woman in
history, including wives of Founding Fathers, wives of Patriots, and women who
were famous on their own (inventors, writers, spies, etc.)
an assortment of New England genealogy websites new to me:

1692, the year of the witchcraft hysteria
