Tina Lyons of Gen Wish List surprised me with a Follow Friday for my blog. Thank you Tina.
My above cousin also pointed me in the direction of Library History Bluff Blog when she saw a write up about my librarian gg grandfather. What a nice surprise. You never know where your ancestors will show up.
When I typed up the longest obituary I've ever seen on my ancestor, I had no idea that the New York Times had it online! A week later, after my post, I was looking for something else on google pertaining to that family and came across it. I think I should use Google more than I do, if I had, I could have saved myself a huge amount of time!
Miriam Robbins Midkiff of the AnceStories: The Stories of My Ancestors has given me permission to use her Digital Archives and Database for Massachusetts on my home page. She is doing a listing for each of the 50 states, one per week in alphabetical order. Please visit her blog for the states already done, and more great articles.
It was time for a change on my blog layout, nothing drastic, as you can see. Made a number of corrections and updated many old posts, also changed many labels. One new label is for Blogger Cousins (to enable me to keep track of those bloggers who are related to me), so, if your memory is better than mine, and we are related, could you please let me know. Thanks. Also, I changed my town and state areas to be listed under Location:, such as Location: Michigan.
I donated three books to the New England Historic and Genealogical Society in Boston.
I thought I caught a glimpse of me
Soon my present will be past
For I will not forever last.
