Happy Blog Anniversary to Leaves & Branches!


On September 3, 2010 I sent out my first blog post. I wanted to reach out to others who might be related to my family tree and who would be willing to share & compare information. My daughter, Alyssa, helped me set up my blog. I was both nervous and excited as I made decisions about the layout, title & the first post.

One of the best things that has happened over the years has been the connection with GeneaBloggers! I have been entertained & educated & challenged to improve by Thomas MacEntee and fellow members of this great group.

An unexpected perk has been making blogging buddies like Charlie, Wendy & Cheri. They are always willing to encourage & give suggestions & just be friendly.

I have made some connections with distant family members. I hope to find even more. Maybe I'll discover that one person who just happens to have a trunk full of original family documents and a pile of ancient photo albums! ha!

Meanwhile, it is time for a slice of cake, a glass of wine and a look back at how far I've come.

    Happy Blogiversary, Friend! It is ironic that we started blogging to connect with family, but connections outside our family have been enjoyable and fulfilling. I wake every day looking forward to reading about what my blog friends are up to. Cheers, Colleen!

      Thanks, Nancy! Occasionally I wonder if I will 'run out' of things to write about but new avenues of research continually open up.
