    Thanks for mentioning my Yeakley/Jones blog. There isn't much there yet but I am going to see how many people are related as I track my way back to the Mayflower and possibly fill in some holes.

    Thanks, Jana, for including my blog (http://onecrazybranchatatime.blogspot.com) in your weekly finds. It's a therapeutic experience to blog about family history, good and bad, and I enjoy "meeting" others with similar interests. :)
