The following is from OneGreatFamily/GenealoGee.com.

April 26, 2010, Springville UT – GeneatloGee.com is a new genealogy bookmarking site for genealogists and hobbyists to share blog posts, articles, news and other information with each other.  Launching today, the site has a similar purpose as the popular online news site “Digg,” but it is focused exclusively on family history and genealogy.  As the site grows in popularity and more people contribute articles, GenealoGee.com will become an increasingly valuable resource for locating online information about genealogy.  The site is entirely free for users.

Two Functions of GenealoGee.com: Submit Articles for Others’ Benefit and Read Articles Deemed Helpful

To read the posts that are popular in the genealogy world, visit the home page to see the stories with the most votes.  However, all submitted articles are categorized as well.  If you’re looking for Genealogy News, Help for Beginners, Genealogy Blog posts, information about Conferences, or other topics, select your desired Category from the home page to read relevant information.

About the Developer, OneGreatFamily.com

OneGreatFamily.com was founded in 1999 by Alan Eaton.  The company is focused on providing valuable internet services to all genealogy enthusiasts.  The company’s flagship site, www.OneGreatFamily.com, is focused on matching and merging all of the separate family trees created by genealogists into one single unified worldwide family tree.  This single family tree removes all duplication while maintaining all differences in conclusions that genealogists draw from the research evidence.  Today more than 214,000,000 individuals have been submitted in family trees to OneGreatFamily.com.

75,000 new WW1 records go online at findmypast.co.uk

Leading UK family history website findmypast.co.uk has today expanded its collection of British military records with the release of the Royal Marine Medal Roll 1914-1920. The record set provides a listing of all Royal Marines who received medals for their service in World War 1, including those awarded the 1914 Star, the Clasp to the 1914 Star, the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

Royal Marine Medal Roll 1914-1920

Containing records of over 75,000 Officers, NCOs and other ranks, the Royal Marine Medal Roll 1914-1920 comprises both transcripts and images of the original WW1 Campaign Medal Rolls for the Royal Marines. Aside from the medals awarded, the records detail the Marine’s name, rank, service branch, service number and also a description of where or to whom the medals were issued. In addition to this, many of the transcripts contain extra service details for the Royal Marine, often highlighting those that died of wounds or were killed in action during WW1. These details are available online for the very first time.

Debra Chatfield, Marketing Manager at findmypast.co.uk, said: “We are delighted to be able to add the Royal Marine Medal Roll 1914-1920 to the collection of World War 1 records available at the findmypast.co.uk website. These records are a fantastic new resource, allowing family historians to uncover many more details about the lives of ancestors who fought for their country.”

John Marshall, author of the Royal Marine Medal Roll database, said: “Today sees the first of any WW1 Naval Medal Rolls to be made available online, providing a complete listing of all Royal Marine Officers and men who served in the Great War. This database is dedicated to the memory of CH/19403 Private John (Jack) Clegg RMLI, 1^st Royal Marine Battalion, Royal Naval Division, who was “wounded and missing” at the Battle of the Ancre in 1916.”
