I have been avoiding DNA while doing my own genealogy research, but your blog has been so helpful in explaining DNA while at the same time being tremendously entertaining.

I have binge read from the beginning and am impressed with both your storytelling style and how much I learned about DNA.

I know you love genealogy, but you should write a book! You have a gift! More than one, really, but the way you write just pulls us all in.<br /><br />Anyway, can't wait to hear more! And, hope you don't make us wait so long before you post again. ;)Dana Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387705697369311607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728490610017274864.post-43665324947813695302016-07-25T20:01:29.696-04:002016-07-25T20:01:29.696-04:00All these people you don't know and we are so ...All these people you don't know and we are so thrilled to finally hear from you!

That was four hours ago. I have now read through all of your posts, and feel the same exhaustion and amazement I do after binge-watching a season or two of Game of Thrones. I have been seriously considering starting my own blog, but now am a bit intimidated by your great writing skills. And research. I console myself with the thought that you are a professional, while I am a hobbyist. It just means you make money from genealogy, whereas I just spend money on genealogy. You have also given me several ideas to pursue in my own research. Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to the next installments. 2016 can only be better!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324616064974795262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728490610017274864.post-51908521710290356292016-07-24T22:36:12.931-04:002016-07-24T22:36:12.931-04:00Welcome "home"!

Just consider me your elderly aunt patting your forehead and telling you it is gonna be all right! Seriously, I was happy to see you surface again and to know you are all right. Thank you so much for re-starting your blog; you have an army of old lady genealogists following your every post. So sorry to have missed you when you were in NC giving a course, really wanted to meet you in person and tell you how much I have learned from your posts about genealogy [and life].
