Happy Independence Day!

Monday, July 4th, 2011

I would like to wish all of you a Happy Independence Day. May you enjoy this day to reflect on the liberty that our forefathers (and foremothers) have fought to protect and pass down through the generations. I have posted a longer essay at my North Carolina Genealogy site with a deeper question: Where is the 4th of July.

County Pages Finished!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

I’ve got an initial pass over all of the county pages now. So, there should be a bit of a profile on each county in the state of Alabama. Along with the profile will be some genealogy resource links, and other useful information for that county. As the site goes forward we will be adding more to the county pages, but they will be bits and pieces at a time instead of a huge bulk update like this has been.

This also marks what I would consider our GRAND OPENING! So…. once again WELCOME!

–UPDATE–

I’m sorry to say, there was a typo in the first press release referring to 64 Alabama Counties…. Of course there are 67. I’ve made attempts to get the releases edited, but some have not reflected the change. Sorry for any inconvenience.

County Pages are 10% built

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

In many ways the pages of a site like this never get finished. Resources move, new ones come along and you get more ideas for information to put on the pages. But, the following county pages have had their first pass with information!

  • Autauga County Genealogy
  • Baldwin County Genealogy
  • Barbour County Genealogy
  • Bibb County Genealogy
  • Blount County Genealogy
  • Bullock County Genealogy
  • Butler County Genealogy
  • I’m really pleased because it marks the 10% mark. I’ve unfortunately had slow going on the pages here since I’ve been simultaneously working a major revision on another site. We’ve also got some great content in the way of posts lined up for the next several months, so…. things are really starting to feel like we’re getting this site off the ground!

    Work Starting on the County Resource Pages

    Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

    I’ve started work today on some of the county resource pages. Autauga County is looking a bit more complete at the moment than it was earlier with quite a few resource and information links as well as a profile of the county… (only 66 more to go….) I’ve also queued up some articles to be posted here in coming months. Depending on the timing of other work I hope to be able to push ahead with more of the county pages soon and potentially line up more posts. You should expect the posts will be coming out initially every other week. As events warrant though, I may break that schedule and publish more frequently.

    Thanks for stopping by!
