It’s hard to believe that’s only been two years since the public debut of footnoteMaven, the proprietress of her pseudonymously eponymous blog as well as of Shades of the Departed.  In that short time, her publications have set the bar higher and higher for content and she has become by acclamation one of the respected leaders of the Geneablogosphere.  She has a nearly extrahuman capacity for imagination and wit, matched by an incredible capacity for work.   She is devoted to detail and style, as her moniker suggests.  And beyond that, she’s a right fine person of good disposition and compassion.

So here’s to you, footnoteMaven, for enriching our community; may you have many, many, more blogoversaries!
