Thanks for listing my post about the Mayflower meetings on your list this week!
You’re welcome, Heather. I quite enjoyed reading about it, even though I have no Mayflower ancestors in my lines (YET!).
Thanks for including my post Julie!
You’re welcome, Taneya. I love reading about unique records…shows how much is really out there if we look!
I enjoy scouring your lists for new blogs and articles to read. Especially the ones about writing family history as they provide me with the motivation to write and examples to improve my blog posts!
Glad you enjoy them, Tim. I wish I had more time to write my own “writing” posts…have lots of advice to share, but I’ve been super busy and can barely keep up with my Friday Finds.
