One of the hobbies that I devote the most time to is genealogy. Whenever I mention it to people, I tend to get responses that they would love to work on a family history project, but they just don’t know where to start. I remember when I was first starting out that it was very intimidating, and there weren’t many resources geared towards complete beginners who had very little knowledge of their ancestry. A blog with tutorials, guides to specific resources, and also write-ups on my own research could serve as both an accessible aid to people interested in amateur genealogy, and also a way to record my own progress in researching my ancestry and local history.  

I also love historical fiction and reading in general, especially older, more obscure authors. Another blog concept I have is a series of book reviews and/or recommendations for historical fiction, cataloguing both the good and the bad. The aim of the blog would be to help introduce readers to a good book they wouldn’t have heard of otherwise, as well as a place to showcase my analysis of the novel and why I like it (or don’t).
