Writer's Blog Tour

 

Judi Scott invited me to participate in this Writer's Blog Tour. http://puzzlesofthepast.blogspot.com/
Judi and I enjoyed working together over the past five years as part of a team of editors for the Bulletin, a quarterly publication of the Genealogical Forum of Oregon. We also traveled to several genealogy events and conferences where we were presenters of classes or attended classes.

When doing genealogy and family history research these same personal boundaries are subject to intrusive questions from complete strangers.
