Androinica » Ancestry releases beta app to keep up with your genealogy

I haven't myself taken the plunge and signed up for a subscription to Ancestry.com, but for those that have and that use Android, Ben Crawford over at the Google Android Blog Androinica has good news. A beta version of an Ancestry app for Android phones is now available for download. As you might expect, it lacks the features of a full product, but includes the ability to view your family tree and photographs. The screenshots look good, so hopefully functionality will improve soon. The app is available for download at the Android Market.

Oral History Podcasts

Oral History Podcasts:

Thanks to a link on The Irish Archives, a great directory of Irish Genealogy web sites (you can follow them on Twitter: @irisharchives), I came across a nice collection of Oral History Podcasts put together by Wexford County Council. More than 130 people from many parts of the county have been interviewed over the last three years. This is a great resource for those of us who are trying to get a glimpse of what life might have been like in Wexford many years ago, when some of the interviewees were just children. The web site gives information for those wishing to get involved, and you can nominate people to be interviewed. It would be interesting to see whether other counties have similar initiatives.
