Today is this blog’s first anniversary. I can hardly believe that a year has passed since I first started writing. Over this last year, I have transcribed and posted over 350 letters that my grandparents wrote during 1942 and 1943. My oldest child finished elementary school. I traveled to New England for the first time this century. I saw two amazing Broadway shows. I entered the world of DNA testing (which is fascinating and frustrating all at once!) I finished Boston University’s Genealogical Research Certificate program and started ProGen. I completed my first paid work as a genealogist. The blog has over 300 followers and has received over 18,000 views in the last 365 days. Readers from all over the world have discovered my grandparents’ story. I think they would be amazed and humbled that anyone would be interested in their experiences. Most of all I would like to thank everyone who has stopped by, and especially those of you that continue to stop by – day after day. Thank you! It has been an amazing year.
