The Internet Genealogy Community Study Blog | An Australian 'Internet Studies' PhD student researching online genealogy within the broader context of hobbyist Internet usage. How do genealogists use the Internet? What are the consequences of the development of genealogy as a significant Internet-based activity? This blog is my academic head-space, so stay tuned, and perhaps all will be revealed!

Survey: Home common access for Internet genealogy

Home is the most common place for people to be accessing the Internet for genealogical activities, with the library and work both being the second most accessed place. That is, while 71% of people in the IGCS study stated home as the place they most accessed the Internet for genealogical activities, both work and the library accounted for 10%. Additionally, 7% of genealogists also used internet cafés, genealogy societies, or family history centres to access the Internet for genealogy . Other lesser-utilised locations included the home office; hotels; PDA’s and other wireless technologies while traveling; school or college; and national and state record offices.
