Clarification

Posted in Site Issues/Technical, and Updates

I understand people find this blog while searching for information about their family trees, but I want to offer a few points of clarification:

  1. This is a personal blog that contains my research and thoughts. It is not meant to substitute for your own diligent research or to be a comprehensive catalog of all the information available on the topics I pursue.
  2. I have been writing here for about 20 years, and there may be older posts with out-of-date information. If I have time and inclination to make changes, I sometimes do, but most of the time, these updates will take the form of new blog posts.
  3. I write and maintain this blog on my own time and with my own funds. I will try to be helpful to you if you reach out with questions, but please understand I have a family and a full-time job. On occasion, I have received emails demanding my time. I shouldn’t have to explain how inappropriate that is.

The Genealogy Blog is Back!

Posted in Site Issues/Technical

I have not written in this blog for nearly three years, a time period that coincides precisely with my move from Georgia to Massachusetts to accept a new teaching position. It’s been busy, and I have had little time to devote to family research, but I am glad to be back, and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with family, fellow genealogists, and other readers. In the time that I myself have been fairly absent, the comments sections on individual blog posts have been quite active.

You might also notice things look a little different around here. I changed the look of the site. As such, some items might be in different places, and if you can’t find something you used to be able to find, please just let me know. I think everything is in place, but it’s entirely possible I missed something.

Thanks to all of you for your patience.

Cleaning out the Cobwebs

Posted in Site Issues/Technical

Attic CobwebsI have been a really poor genealogy blogger. I could blame grad school and general business, such as having three children. Add to that the fact that I also have other blogs where I regularly write (huffenglish.com and Much Madness is Divinest Sense). Genealogy fascinates me, and I have found myself going down a rabbit hole several times this summer. Frustrating dead ends!

I have added some new content. If you check out my family tree page, you’ll notice I’ve uploaded family tree web cards.

I went to the Burkhalter/Graham/Cunningham family reunion last month, where it was so nice to see my distant cousins.

I am going to try to start a more regular posting schedule: Saturdays. If I don’t have any other news to share each Saturday, you can expect research or stories about family members, surnames I’m researching, or musings about genealogy related issues.

You can follow me on Twitter. I plan to install a plugin here called Twitter Tools that will allow me to share when I have updated on Twitter.

If I haven’t already lost you after being so quiet for so many years, I hope you’ll join me.
