Earlier today I became a member of the Association of Graveyard Rabbits! I will post a link to my Graveyard Rabbit blog on the right. Soon I will begin posting about Cemeteries, Tombstones, and Burial Customs in South Denton County (Texas). I hope you’ll stop by and perhaps leave a comment or two! Please find me also at Graveyard Rabbit of South Denton County!
Thanks to the genea-blogger meme that was started a few days ago as well as the “Dare to Comment” Challenge, I’ve had comments from some genea-bloggers that are new to me! I’m adding them (and some others that I have failed to add before now!) to my blogroll over on the right and I urge you to go visit their blogs if you haven’t already!
I’ll be adding:
- Genealogy Traces written by Judy Shubert
- Heritage Happens written by Mysteri
- Apple’s Tree written by Apple
- DearMYRTLE’s Genealogy Blog written by DearMYRTLE
- The Educated Genealogist written by Sheri Fenley

- Elyse’s Genealogy Blog written by Elyse Doerflinger
What new blogs have you stumbled across recently?
Apparently, Randy at GeneaMusings started a meme. He tagged Jasia at Creative Gene, who in turn tagged me! Before I write out mine, you can go to Jasia’s post and read her answers. Or go to Randy’s post and read his.
Okay, here goes!

I’ve once again been tagged with the “I Love Your Blog” award! A. Spence at Spence-Lowry Family History gave me this award. Thanks! Since I’ve been tagged once and these awards seem to circle through out the genealogy blogs, I will do as I did before –
If you are a regular (or first time!) reader of this blog – consider yourself tagged! Just give me a link back & go on to award to others.
Again, thank you, A. Spence! Will be adding a link to your blog soon!
As a 40 something mother of four adult children and Nana to three grandsons, I’ve found that as I get older priorities change and the legacy I leave for my descendents is as important as that which I’ve inherited from my ancestors. Writing has always been cathartic for me – enabling me to share emotions, thoughts, goals, and stories with anyone or no one. By posting articles on this genealogy blog as well as listing information on my genealogy web site, I hope to not only leave documented information for those who come after me, but to bring together distant family members also searching for each other.
Brightest Article: The Case of Chase. A culmination of several years of research that when published, this article brought me in touch with family members I didn’t know existed.
Breeziest Article: Unusual Photos. This post shows how wacky my family can be – both past and present!
Most Beautiful Article: On The Spot Education (post for the 48th Carnival of Genealogy). A loving tribute to my mother.
I do my best to write consistently so my little place here in the blogosphere doesn’t become stagnant or boring. Generally, I try to share my research techniques, the information I have been able to find, and make it provocative enough for you to want to read more. Those who leave comments are generally sure to receive a visit from me and a shout out or a link to their site. I have much to offer on my blog, so please stop by often!
I have now backed up my blog to the mirror site, All My Branches (Mirror Site). I hope to be able to do back-ups on the first day of each month so that way I won’t lose anything! The link will also be over on the left!
Jessica at Jessica’s Genejournal has awarded me the “I Love Your Blog Award”. Similar to the “Blogging Friends Forever” award, this must also be passed on to other bloggers. Since it seems that these awards actually are cyclical, I’ll use the same tagging method that Lidian at the Virtual Dime Museum used – if you are on my blogroll or in my links or a friend/follower on Facebook, consider yourself “tagged”! Just please, link back to my site (or the site that awarded it)! Like, Jessica, I read more than seven blogs and at any one time I have several favorites! I feel very priviledged to be among a world class group as the genea-bloggers!
Jessica – thanks so much for the tag and the award! I’m humbled and thankful for this!
