  7. Jana,
    Thanks so much for including two of my posts in your Fab Finds this week. Since I have only been posting less than two months, I feel highly honored. You have been so helpful. I read a couple of those you have listed and was very impressed with them. I will have to read the others since you recommend them.

    1. Hi John,

      You're very welcome! Congrats on your cousin connection discovery. That's very cool! And, well, I'm not all that established as a blogger really. I'm not quite a year old in blog years, but thanks!

      Thanks for stopping by!

  9. Jana: My blog is barely over a month old, so a year seems quite "established" to me. More to my intended point though, is my view based on admittedly new and limited surfing of the huge and growing genealogy blogging community. Many are "established" in the sense that they have had presence in the blogosphere for years, but many such blogs also post infrequently at best. Reviewing your blog, I believe you have staked out a presence in your year by consistent, quality posts -- that is "established" to me more than counting the years back to the first post! ;-) Congratulations on your accomplishment! And, I must thank you again. I missed your kind linking of my blog under Friday's "New Blog Discovery." I really appreciate that and will no doubt have more viewers because of your recommendation. Thank you!
