Anniversary Number Three!






Tomorrow it will be three years since I wrote my first post. For those of you with farming ancestors, there are now a few posts that may be of interest to you.

The most viewed post for this year was -
History of PEI and Censuses 

...followed closely by -
What is in the Provincial/State Sessional Papers? 

 The most viewed post of all time is holding it's top position -
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

The post All Aboard is now in third place, having lost its second place position to History of PEI and Censuses, this year's most viewed post.

The Resource page is also very popular and I hope everyone is downloading and sharing.

I found that doing a series of posts was fun to write and well received. The first one I did was the War Series in June 2014 during the week leading up to D-Day. The series for this past year are - 
Cigar Box - revealing the contents of my Dad's cigar box of WWII items. 
12 Days of Christmas - a fun take on the original song 
Canada 150 - ongoing for Canada's 150th anniversary of confederation 
High Fives - other blogs I read during the week that get a High Five from me.

Thank you all for stopping by ... what will the next year bring?
