My sincere appreciation to my followers, readers, and the genealogy community for your support. Many of you pick this blog up on facebook, where I have about 540 friends, over half of whom are genealogists. The statistics are intriguing, and they provide a picture of what is happening with the blog. It is a fun tool, where I can share my stories, family history, and interesting experiences as a researcher, lecturer, mentor, and volunteer in the wonderful world of genealogy.
