Happy New Year, dear family and fellow family history enthusiasts! As we step into 2026, I wanted to send the warmest wishes to all of you. May this year bring health, happiness, and many wonderful discoveries.
I know things have been quiet on the blog lately, but the hiatus is officially over. Life got a bit noisy for a while, but I’m so ready to get back to it! I never stopped thinking about the next branch of the tree we need to climb. For 2026, I’m getting back on a regular schedule. I have a backlog of fascinating ancestors and dusty records to share, so stay tuned for a lot more updates.
I’ve also spent the last week tidying up our digital home. I’ve made some updates so the site functions a bit more like a permanent archive rather than just a chronological blog. If you head up to the navigation menu, you’ll find new thematic collections. I've organized our history into sections like "Family Treasures" and a "Military Honor Roll" to make those specific stories easier to find and revisit.
I’ve missed this, and I can't wait to dive back in with all of you. Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey. Here's to a year filled with connection, remembrance, and the joy of our shared heritage!
