Those who take note of such things might wonder why there have been no posts to this blog between the last post in July and the latest in late November.
The blame falls on me and the fact that in July two things happened. (1) I learned that I was to become the editor of the newsletter for the Wood County, Texas Genealogical Society on September 1 of this year. (2) I discovered the website genealogywise and began to be active there with two groups I created. One was a Coffee Klatch for Wood County researchers and the second was to raise the question of how we might help our genealogical societies especially small ones struggling with membership and financial problems.
I was determined to combine the newsletter function of the Wood County Society with a weblog in order to ease communication and to reduce our printing costs for the newsletter. You can see the results of that on-going and on-growing project at http://woodtxgene.com.
I am still working out the genealogical society help site which is called Save Our (Local Genealogical) Societies at genealogywise. You can see it here (http://www.genealogywise.com/group/sos), and suggestions and contributions are solicited.
I have also been active on Facebook, and I have posted a TFTD (Thought For The Day) for friends there every day since I began in March of this year.
