IMG_0481
Hello my awesome readers! As some of you may know, I'm on Pinterest. I have several genealogy boards there. Surprisingly, I get a lot of traffic on my blog from Pinterest. In fact, right now Pinterest is #3 on my list of referring sites for the month and #10 for all time. If you don't already share your genealogy blog posts on Pinterest, you may be missing out on a great thing.

So, what does this have to do with my weekly Fab Finds posts? Well, I've created a new board on Pinterest called Genealogy Fab Finds. And, I'll be sharing my weekly Fab Finds posts there. If you'd like to check out this new board, click HERE.

  4. Thanks, Jana, for mentioning one of my blog posts again. I don't do Pinterest myself very often, but I appreciate others pinning my posts. On my blog Pinterest ranks #2 out of referring website, right after Google, and I receive about 1,000 hits per month from Pinterest, more around holidays like Christmas and Valentines for some odd reason.

  5. Hi Jana--Thanks for including GENEALOGY UNIVERSE in your genealogy finds. I read your "About" page and saw you are a Find A Grave volunteer. That is great work, and tremendously valuable. Although I am not LDS, I do volunteer indexing and arbitration for FamilySearch. I teach genealogy classes and tell my students Mormons are the greatest genealogists in the world.
