I also want to start providing transcriptions and photos for Findagrave, though my county is awfully well covered, thanks to a super-active genealogy community here. And your beautiful header may give me the incentive and courage to try to follow Thomas' instructions to create my own. I look forward to enjoying your blog!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104855834536658945.post-59390296625649696502009-01-03T17:17:00.000-06:002009-01-03T17:17:00.000-06:00Thanks Wendy - Having actual followers, wow...this...Thanks Wendy - Having actual followers, wow...this will really keep me on my toes and also keep me posting things regularly.

You've got some "do-able" goals, good luck with them and your research.Becky Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074730861618500334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104855834536658945.post-15164661206947750992009-01-03T14:18:00.000-06:002009-01-03T14:18:00.000-06:00Hey Becky - Thanks so much for the comments.

Your comment gave me hope for what can be done in a year. I have so much to learn but there are just so many people out there who seem willing to help. And a good example of that - Thomas's instructions worked like a charm!!Diana Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954839264299339937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104855834536658945.post-26871463115896557402009-01-03T12:56:00.000-06:002009-01-03T12:56:00.000-06:00I forgot to mention that your Header is fabulous! ...I forgot to mention that your Header is fabulous!

So many people posted photos of my family--it's been an awesome "find". There are several cemetery-related (1) groups on Facebook and (2)blogs to. GY Rabbit is terrific. I'll be watching for ya. I'm proud to be a Follower of your blog. You're right--it's not a competition. It's personal--we do it for ourselves, family and friends. I didn't even know about Facebook or blogging in Jan. 2008! We never know what will come into our lives!Becky Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841947942442007031noreply@blogger.com
