With another month coming to an end, it’s time for another Inspiring Genealogy Blogs post. The following are a collection of posts that I’ve read over the past month, that I wanted to share with you. It’s not a large list this time, but I believe all are worthy of a read.

In this edition of Inspiring Genealogy Blogs we have search fails, dogmatism in the genealogy scene, a couple of digital preservation, how to fit research into a busy schedule, and Irish places!

And if you happen to already follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and to some extent Google+, you already know that I like to share with you the interesting things I read.
