There are several that are dedicated to genealogy and/or family history. It is easy to start your own Paper.li and to have it automatically aggregate relevant information for you. Or, you can subscribe to someone else’s Paper.li.

Paper.li describes itself as “the easiest way to collect, publish, and share content on the web.” Anyone can make their own Paper.li and customize it to curate posts on a specific topic of interest. It supports sources from Twitter, Facebook, Google +, YouTube, RSS and just about any other content from around the web.
