  1. Happy Blogiversary Daniel! We started our blogs on the same day. Your "On This Day" posts are a great way to get all of your names and dates out there. Have you considered submitting it to Geneabloggers as one of the daily prompts? I think it would make a good one.

  2. Jim and Kathryn, thank you both so much for the warm blogiversary wishes!

    As for making it a prompt, it's not my idea in the first place! I shamelessly stole it from a couple of other blogs I've seen using it for the obvious cousin bait and search engine loading. I would be astounded if Thomas MacEntee hasn't already seen it and for whatever reason decided not to make it a prompt. I may ask him if I remember next time I contact him...

  3. I'm sure you're right about Thomas already seeing the date posts. I may shamelessly steal it myself! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. It is a struggle to find time for this some times, but it has been worth it. Keep up the good work too!
