Five Years of Blogging

It is my Fifth Anniversary of Blogging!

I appreciate all of you who have been following, commenting, encouraging and sharing.

Five years ago I was inspired and encouraged by Gail Dever at Genealogy à la Carte to write a blog. I had many lists of resources from doing research into my family and friends' families and I wanted to share it all with others. I wavered between making a website, of which there were many, or writing a blog, of which there were not many like mine. The reason I went with the blog was because it gave me a chance to tell family stories related to the information I was passing on.

I sometimes like to challenge myself and do a series or participate in a challenge. This past year I attempted the "Twelve Days of Ancestors", related to the "Twelve Days of Christmas" series I did the year before. That was quite challenging but fun to do.

Thanks to all of you who follow on the Blog, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, and for sharing. I look forward to seeing what the coming year will bring!
