In those years January and August 2018 and October 2019 were the months with the most posts (5). Of course it’s not about quantity but quality. I've tried to achieve quality by writing about topics that arouse my interest. The stories on this blog are usually not about my own ancestors, but about deceased people who catch my attention.
To celebrate this 9-year milestone, here's my list featuring interesting genealogy posts from this, and other blogs.
