Steve, now that I’ve got a sufficient inflow of records, I am finally putting my genealogy blog into full working order. Your blog serves as a great inspiration to me, and I will use it as a rough template for my own. I feel that with all the information I’ve been finding out about my own family, it would be wrong for me to not publicly share it and publish it in some form or another. Hopefully you will keep an eye on it, as I always keep a faithful eye on yours. Take care.
