Internet Genealogy: Oct/Nov 2014

The lead article in this issue Finding Your Dutch Ancestors Online is by Yvette Hoitink, recently nominated as a Rockstar Genealogist. It describes ten Dutch websites. Every week Yvette produces Dutch Genealogy News, an essential free resource to which you can subscribe by email from http://www.dutchgenealogy.nl/.
Next up is regular contributor Tony Bandy with a Fall 2014 Roundup of Apps for Your Mobile Research. He mentions more than 20 resources, some of more general interest than others. They are both genealogy-specifc and more general apps that can be applied for family history. For those wanting to keep up with developments in the latter Tony recommends Lifehacker, The Next Web and Mashable.
