Last week’s survey asked about where you get "how-to" information. The top three resources are non-profit genealogical websites, such as FamilySearch.org and AmericanAncestors.org, 92%; commercial websites, such as Ancestry.com, 88%; and print books, 85%. Only 26% get their information from blogs. There is a sharp divide between the top five resouces (which include non-genealogical websites and print magazines), and the remaining resources. Complete results are:
- 92%, Non-profit genealogical websites (e.g., FamilySearch, AmericanAncestors.org)
- 88%, Commercial genealogical websites (e.g., Ancestry.com, Archives.com)
- 85%, Print books
- 74%, Non-genealogical websites (e.g., Google, About.com, etc.)
- 68%, Print magazines
- 39%, Other digital resources
