Legacy News Post #1,000
August 05, 2011
Aftering graduating with a degree in genealogy over nine years ago I was relieved that my writing days were finally over. I did not think the essay and report writing would ever end. Little did I know.
This post is the 1,000th Legacy News post since we began this blog back in August 2005. I began writing with the hope of sharing a few ideas and tips with our Legacy Family Tree users, not foreseeing that they would be read by millions and millions. In this nearly six year span of writing, I've shared experiences with my own research, news from the technology world, and my excitement of how we've pioneered genealogy webinars. Along the way you have put up with my personal stories as I've announced the births of two of my children, shared my oldest son's astonishment when he learned genealogy wasn't that boring, and kept you up-to-date with the latest on my favorite ancestor - Asa Brown.
Kind of sounds like I'm writing my own obituary here, but as all genealogists know, when we look to the past we can create a brighter future. Looking back, here are the top 25 most-read articles of the past 1,000 posts:
