. . . Everything Must Change
The title of this post can be taken as an imperative or an observation. It’s true either way. Things will change at Nature’s caprice or by one’s own volition.

Without belaboring the point, let’s face two facts: GeneaBlogie …

GeneaBlogie 2011
What’s coming up on this blog? It goes without saying that here at GeneaBlogie, we regard the passing of 2010 with the attitude, “good riddance!” It was certainly not one of our better years.

A Christmas Miracle!?
A Star Appears Again Once upon a time, not that long ago, but in a place far far away, there twinkled a star called “Cow Hampshire.” Guided by a benevolent monarch named Janice, Cow Hampshire was a place of wit, wisdom, mirth, and joy. One day, however, the Cow star seemed to have burned out and fallen from the sky. …

A Very Quiet Blogaversary
This week marks six years since Geneablogie went online. It was an inauspicious start; I had no idea what I was doing or what I really wanted to do. I just let it flow. Then after a few years it became very good (or least fairly good). That was a great feeling! There were actually readers and subscribers and commenters. …

Whirlwind . . . Week
This post was originally commenced last Tuesday evening and was entitled Whilrwind Wednesday, and intended for publication on Wednesday, June 16. But it turned out to be a much more hectic week than I ever could have imagined and I couldn’t get back to this until just now! And by now, everybody with a computer has written about the SoCal …

A Visitor Arrives, Bringing a Little Sunshine to Northern California
The first word came several days ago via email, sort of like the way I used to receive alerts in the Air Force about the imminent arrival of a Distinguished Visitor (a general officer, a high-ranking civilian appointee, a Member of C0ngress). The subject line needed no decoding: Becky’s coming for a visit! “Becky,” of course, is Indiana family historian …
