“Hacking into Your Ancestry” might be slightly less gruesome, but still get the point across!

Hey, nice blog!!!! Just stumbled onto your site, and have to say I LOVE the poem, and your wit, and your ability to put into words that wonderful sense of the “parallel linearity” we share with our ancestors, which I’ve often felt but have had no luck describing!

I’m a bit behind the welcome wagon, but glad you’ve joined the Geneablogger world!

Anne,
Thanks for your kind words! Serendipity seems to be a nice side benefit in genealogy research, and the blogging community is filled with both interesting and helpful folks, I’ve found.

Hello John:
I just posted a comment on Ancestry’s blog where they shared the story & photos of Michael who won the trip to Ireland, and noticed a few of the other ‘posters’ had a link under their names~~so I clicked on yours & found myself here. Serendipitous! Your blog inspires me~~well written, thoughtful, interesting & helpful, visual, and makes me smile. I’ve just begun to read genealogy blogs to get an idea how others treat the endeavor. I want to create one of my own and I’m glad I ‘tripped’ across yours. I’ll have to check out Geneabloggers. I think you should definately call your techniques & tools blog Hacking Your Ancestors; I would read that! Mostly, love the poem that inspired you; it’s beautiful. The connection we develop with ancestors we never knew much about, is profound. In that spirit, “may the protection of the ancestors be yours” as well.

Hi John -

Your blog has a very nice look to it and you’ve written some very good articles. Maybe we’ll discover an Irish or Eastern European connection somehow and find that we are cousins. It would be great to collaborate.

I enjoyed reading about how you named your blog. John O’Donohue
is one of my favorite poets.

“Beannacht” on this “Currach” and your search for ancestors!

I know, right? What’s up with this guy?
Oh wait, I’m driving this thing.
I’ve got about 8 pending draft posts – think I need to unhinge the perfectionism from the cart and let them roll. Or some such metaphor.

And why don’t my avatars show up in the comments? I’m all avatarred up in the settings but they don’t show. Mysterioso.
