to your "favorite places" list so you can return regularly. The Journal
of Online Genealogy (JOG) had its debut in July 1996, and features nationally
known contributors including Brian Mavrogeorge, Mike St. Clair, and John
Wylie. JOG's stated mission is "to aid the genealogy community in promoting
and developing online projects, technologies, and methods of research."
In selecting JOG as the Cool Site, we anticipate that the Journal will
focus ongoing attention on the best of genealogy on the Internet. Each
issue will contain regular columns, such as Advanced Projects, Beginner
Avenues, GENTECH Column, International Efforts, New Online Sites, Society
News, and Software Trends. |
