Wow. I can't believe I started Olive Tree Genealogy blog in February 2003.I've always had a structured timeline for posting, and for several years I posted every single day! I don't know how I did it.
For the past year or so I've been writing and posting three times a week. And yes, it gets more and more challenging to think of topics to talk about!
I write about lots of things - new databases online, tips for searching specific records, new projects Olive Tree Genealogy is working on, the new books I've completed and published, genealogy wish lists, genealogy discussions, and occasionally my own ancestors. I like to keep this blog more generic than talking about my own ancestry.
But I'm still hanging in and hoping my readers are getting something worthwhile out of my blogging - because believe me, it's not easy. It is truly a labour of love. The only thing that keeps me going is my hope/belief that I'm adding something of value to online genealogy.
So... cheers! I'll keep blogging as long as I sense a need.
Happy Birthday, Olive Tree!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary to you. Sixteen years is an amazing run. I’ve been at it for 10 years and you’re correct, it’s not easy. Finding new tips to share and family stories to write about is often a challenge. But, I expect you enjoy writing, as I do. So keep on trucking.....and writing. And we'll keep on reading.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary, Lorine. 16 years is a long time!

I'm glad you've been around for 16 years and look forward to 16 more!
ReplyDeleteHow about a column (or two) about how to find a female ancestor's name when all the records only list her as Mrs. Husband's Name? Can you tell us anything about using DNA to do that?
Congratulations! And please keep going. I enjoy reading, and often encounter something to follow up on in my own research. Thank you for all your contributions.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And please keep writing. I often encounter information and ideas useful in my research, even though I have no (known) Canadian connections. Thank you for your contributions.
