With the increasing popularity of Dr. Helen and her somewhat obscure husband I've started thinking of all bloggers I know of who are related. (When I say this I'm referring to relatives who have separate blogs, not like when Sasha Volokh was contributing to the Volokh Conspiracy.
It was Presence who got me to relocate to baltiblogs, where he blogs with his wife, Penny Stock.
And I know of brothers-in-law who blog.
And that reminds me of a father and son combination too.
There's also a Elder of Ziyon and his Daughter of Ziyon combo that I know of.
Not to mention Psychotoddler and Fudge. (In a comment SerAndEz has informed me that I'm selling the Psychotoddler family short. I left out Mrs. Balabusta.)
In the uncle and niece catergory there's Pillage Idiot and Little Miss Attila.
See comments below. Pillage Idiot informs me that they're not really related. I guess I took a joke seriously. Who fact-checks bloggers anyway?
Back to the spouses there's My Right Word and Shiloh Musings and Me-Ander. (No it's not bigamy his wife has two blogs.)
And wow! A family of bloggers: father, mother and daughter! (Love the daugher's tagline:
Fourth Generation Jewish Republican
Third Generation Economist
Second Generation Blogger
First Generation Blue Devil
I don't know which of the first three identifications is least common either.
I'm sure there's a lot more out there. If you wish to let me know leave a comment or e-mail me at dhgerstman at hotmail dot com with a subject line of "relative blogging."
UPDATE: Upright AbbaGav and his slouching brother, Shallow Verb both blog too.
Technorati Tags: blogging.
Actually, you forgot Mrs. Balabusta, which is PT's wife/Fudge's mom.
Posted by: Ezzie at January 20, 2006 1:52 AMLittle Miss Attila and I aren't actually related. It's a joke about being cousins, because we share the Attila nickname. See this: http://pillageidiot.blogspot.com/2004/11/my-long-lost-cousin.html
Posted by: Attila (Pillage Idiot) at January 20, 2006 1:00 PMI hate to tell you this, but I think I win for the most first degree relatives who blog:
