Eleven years ago this week, I began my genealogy blog wondering about my paternal great-grandfather, Meyer Elias Mahler. By now, I've added many twigs and branches to that part of my family tree.
In recent months, I even discovered two sons of Meyer and his wife (great-grandma Tillie Jacobs Mahler), boys who died very young and weren't remembered by later generations. I put them on my public tree so their names will not be forgotten ever again.
That's one of the main reasons I do genealogy: to keep alive the memory of my ancestors and let future generations know about their roots in the past.
Thank you!
Heart-felt thanks to the cousins, extended family members, and researchers who have contacted me via my blog! I am so grateful to be connected with you, getting to know you, and exploring our ancestors' lives together. Such fun and so rewarding.
To all my dear readers, thank you so much for posting comments, offering advice, and returning to read my blog.
After more than 1,130 posts, I'm looking forward to new discoveries, new technologies, new ancestors, and most of all, new connections with friends and family!
Wow! 11 years is a long time. Congratulations on your accomplishment - I enjoy your posts. Hope you are motivated for at least another 11 years. :)
