It's my 10-Year blogiversary !

On 17 January 2013, I published my 1st post for this blog, so today is my  10th  blogiversary !

In those years the months with the most posts (5) were January and August 2018 and October 2019. But it’s not about quantity but quality, and that's for you to determine. The most popular blog posts in 2022 were those explaining where and how to find genealogy information, so I've added a list of blog posts with genealogy tips below.

The downside of 10 years of blogging is that it has become harder to find new topics to blog about. I skipped the month of December to be able to plan some blog posts in the first months of 2023. I may skip more holiday months in the future, because blogging should remain a hobby, and not an obligation.

The most common surnames among my known ancestors are Van Driel, Oerlemans, Spruijt, Brand and Bos. On this blog the most common surnames in my posts are Bos and De Jong, which are the surnames of my parents.
My ancestors with the most children are Cornelis Bos (1813-1888) and Otto van Driel (1756-1832); both had 17 children with 2 wives. In the 17th century Arij Peijnsz. Hogerwaert and his wife Trijntje Willems had 16 children together.
Ancestors Gerrit Korver and Neeltjen Bloet (±1640-1727) were married for over 66 years. When my ancestor Jan Pieterse Vasen died on 11-8-1702 in Ottoland, Holland, he was "around 100 years old and had been blind for 3 or 4 years".

To celebrate this 10-year milestone, I've updated - in addition to the statistics above - my list featuring interesting genealogy posts from this and other blogs.
