This column has previously focused on African-American genealogy blogs, in the articles Shout-outs to African-American Genealogy Blogs and More shout-outs to African-American genealogy blogs.

Michael, I looked at this site and was very impressed with the organization of different steps in the research process. I have to confess, I was also a little intimidated.
