Did you know that October is Family History Month?
When I found out, I reached out to my organizer peeps and asked them to share their ideas for this month’s edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival. As a result, I’ve been able to assemble this great collection of blog posts on a wide range of related topics including:
- researching your family tree
- organizing family photos, home movies and other memorabilia
- creating traditions and memories
- sorting through a loved one’s belongings
I’d like to thank everyone who shared their experiences and expertise, with a special shout-out to Laura Clark Murray for sponsoring this month’s Blog Carnival.
As you read through the articles, please take a moment to leave some comments and share your favorites on social media using the hashtags #POBC and #familyhistory.

Janet-
Many thanks for the opportunity to share and have access to another one of your wonderfully curated collections. Can’t wait to dive in.
Linda
Always happy to have you on board, Linda! Thank you for your inspiring contribution.
Janet, I was so excited to see the theme for this month’s Blog Carnival! Thank you for including me. I blogged today about the Carnival at my genealogy website, Organize Your Family History. (http://organizeyourfamilyhistory.com/professional-organizers-talk-family-history/)
I couldn’t imagine a Blog Carnival on this topic without you, Janine! Thanks so much for your great contribution and for sharing the Carnival with your own readers.
Thanks for including me in this great group of people! I really appreciate it. =)
It’s always great to read your posts, Sabrina. I especially like that you’re the only one who blogged specifically about home movies!
Yet another awesome compilation of collective wisdom. Thanks for the opportunity to be included!
As a professional photo organizer, I’d have been disappointed if you didn’t submit a post! 😉
I love this whole post! I was so hoping to be able to join this blog carnival and I had a few things I should have submitted. But I really want to keep using Ancestry.com to find out about my fathers side of the family. I started but it’s really something you have to schedule time for because it’s very easy to become immersed! Thanks for the great series and I can’t wait to check it all out!
I’ve always found it to be a fascinating topic, and this carnival has really piqued my interest. Good luck on your research!
