Julie, I so appreciate your including me in your week’s review. Today, having just returned home from those three weeks in Ireland, I found it a double treat to read your blog post here, and to finally catch up on my mail, where I received my copy of the Illinois State Genealogical Society Quarterly. I appreciate your many influences on these niches of the genealogical world.
You’re welcome, Jacqi, on all fronts! It’s been fun reading about your adventure!!
Thank you so much for sharing my blog with your readers! I’ve been reading others’ blogs for so long that I decided to take the plunge and start my own. I am honored that you took the time to mention it on your fantastic website.
You’re welcome, Joanne. And welcome to the world of genealogy blogging!
