So… it’s been forever. On the plus side, I’ve definitely been working on my genealogy. But outside of answering your very encouraging and informative comments–thank you all for those!!—I’ve mostly been trying to figure out what to write next. Part of my issue is that I’m researching in probably way too many directions at once… but I also have to get over the need for a perfect post. I forget sometimes that I wanted to track the journey here as much as the findings. So, I have a goal to get past this bit of writer’s block and continue my research journey here.

Wish me luck & happy hunting!
