Four Years Old


My fourth blogoversary comes at the end of my “quietest” year in blogging.  Real life, mainly my job, claimed a lot of the time I would have preferred to spend on research and blogging.  I have been gratified to see that my readers and fellow genealogy bloggers are a loyal lot and have not forgotten this blog.  While my schedule does not look as though it will return to a completely normal state, I do hope to have at least a bit of weekend time for my avocations.  

I continue to read genealogy blogs and follow the research, observations, and views discussed in those blogs with interest.  To those of you who live, breathe, read and write genealogy:  You all exemplify one of the least heralded benefits of “networking”:  pure enjoyment.

  26. Greta,
    I know I'm posting to this several months late, but I still want to take the opportunity to congratulate you on four years. You were one of the first people i "followed." I, too, have been remiss in posting, but I've had a few genealogically-related projects that have kept me busy and filled the void. I hope to get back to regular blogging sometime in 2013.
