It’s been 9 years now since I began this blogging journey. WOW! It’s sure been wonderful.
I’m a better genealogist because of my blog. When you are putting something out there for all to see, you realize it better be correct. As I write about each ancestor I see where the holes are in my research. I take the time to go back and find missing sources and that will often lead to more records.
I’ve made many wonderful friends along the way. Bloggers are a generous group and we all enjoy helping one another and welcoming new bloggers to the fold.
Each year I have all my blog posts printed into a book or books. I use Blog2Print and they make it super easy to do. My current book is in the printing process right now, so here’s a display of my books so far.
The first 3 years I didn’t write much so that white soft cover book on the left covers 2010, 2011 and 2012.
I’ve written 515 posts so far and have had well over 1000 comments left by readers. Blogger stops counting at 1000. I have responded to each and every comment.
What does the future hold for my blog? I hope I continue to write posts that people enjoy reading and that I continue to get feedback and make connections with family.
Here’s to a really productive 2019!
Happy hunting,
Michigan Girl
