Thanks for the shout out! I so wish I could be a Roots Tech … someone needs to meet Ree Drummond for me 🙂
My pleasure Niki!
Thanks for the great list!
Thanks! Some many great articles out there!
Anne,
Thanks so much for the mention!!
😀
Totally jealous, Anne–not just because of RootsTech, but also because I just love books. Yeah, low tech books still rock!!!
Thanks for the mention today. Always appreciate reading your list!
Thanks for posting my blog story about the New Hampshire Slave Petition. Governor Maggie Hassan did sign and the slaves were post humously freed. This is a local story that should be nationally known, and the list of names and the story behind the petition is fascinating.
Heather it was a very interesting find on your part to say the least.
